A very special stay in a very special part of the world ❤️

The most perfect setting on such a beautiful stud farm...having the horses all around was such a treat and especially since it was foaling season.

Incredibly peaceful and perfect

A beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting, with mountains, fields, foals and a wood-fired hot tub – stocked with everything you need. Sue was a great host and everything was just so comfortable and calm. Would 100% recommend and hope to go back!

A great place to escape from the city noise

Our stay was absolutely amazing, a real breathe of fresh air. We really enjoyed the freeness and safety of simply being on the farm. My sister particularly loved the dogs and the cat on the farm. Extremely friendly staff and very sweet animals. Thank you very much to Sue for the warm friendly welcome .

The most beautiful cottage we stayed in!

This property is absolutely beautiful set amongst the mountains and in an incredibly well-kept farm. Our stay was so relaxing and tranquil. The cottage has everything you need from a stunning private wood-fired hot-tub to a BBQ. We adored our stay here and want to thank Sue for being so welcoming! We will most definitely be back in the future!

Best Peaceful Getaway I ever had.

I spent two nights at one of the Deluxe rooms, it was just too heavenly. Starting from the warm welcome, the whole of tranquil background made my entire journey a satisfaction. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Specially Ms. Sue. I'm glad to have introduced to her. It was such a pleasant and comfortable stay. I would surely be back there. I strongly recommend this place to anyone looking to getaway from busy city life and enjoy some relaxing good time blend with nature and the lovely horses.

Heaven on earth Amazing.

Thank you Sue, great stay, just what we needed, relaxing, calm and peaceful two days. Hot Tub nice.

Totally Awesome!

Beautiful location in the valley between the horses and dogs. The outdoor hot tubs were super fun. Hermanus is easy to drive and by car you are in many different wineries. Sue is super helpful and friendly.

Great Stay! Great Service!

Great location and service. Enjoyed the tranquility. This is a huge property and ample moving space if you want to walk around. Away from main roads and the city, therefore quiet. Great views. Lots of beautiful horses. Next time we're booking the bungalow further into the property

Fabulous retreat a short drive from Hermanus.

Loved our stay in Jay Peg. Super cute, very comfy bed, amazing hot tub, a cozy woodfire stove for the colder evenings and waking up seeing the horses just by our deck was very magical.

A beautiful stay on a stunning, tranquil farm.

Our stay was thoroughly enjoyed! What a beautiful farm! A very scenic and tranquil setting and very comfortable and cozy accommodation.

Rejuvenated :-)

I would definitely recommend this place for a couple's breakaway from all the hustle and buzzle. The views are beautiful. Horses roaming in the distance, the Wood Fired Hot Tubs and the friendliest dogs.
The Friendliness of the staff especially Sue, really makes a difference. The beauty of the estate is encapsulated in the name.

Amazing Villa with views.

Such an incredible stay, very quiet, amazing views. Being greeted every morning by the beautiful horses grazing just outside the villa was truly a memorable experience. We will definitely be back for another getaway. If you want to escape the city buzz this is the best place to be for R&R

Peaceful, tranquil oasis in the Hermanus wine valley.

Everything was magnificent. From the stuck away location in the peaceful Hemel-en-Aarde Valley to the spacious room and awesome wood fired hot tub. The staff were friendly and the horses too! Nothing was too much trouble, from additional towels, to extra coffee pods and glasses. The hot tub was definitely the highlight of our trip. We will be back soon!

Amazing experience.

Staying at Hemel 'n Aarde Stud farm was an amazing experience. The cabin was super cozy and had the perfect mixture of rustic charm and modern comfort. Waking up to views of the fields and horses was incredible, and we loved taking walks around the property. What a perfect spot for a peaceful getaway!

Michelle, August 2024

Absolutely awesome place, deluxe and double rooms spacious and very well equipped.

Quality accommodation, large beds, extremely well equipped rooms and kitchenettes, attention to detail, location, too many things to mention.

Midweek anniversary breakaway.

My wife and I were very well received by the most amazing person. Michèle went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and settled. She really went the extra mile for us. The room was very well equipped and clean and the staff very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed lazing in the hot tub and just listening to the sounds of nature. It was a very welcome break from the hustle and bustle of city life. I would definitely recommend the venue to anyone who wants to break away for a little bit of peace and quiet. The access road is a bit bumpy, but once you get used to it, it adds to the charm of the place. Thank you very much for a most enjoyable time.

Heaven and earth.

We had the most amazing 3 night stay at the Camden Cottage. Beautiful location. Attention to detail from our lovely hostess. Such luxury and nature is literally just outside the windows and sliding doors. By far the most private and close to nature,luxury experience ever. Highly recommended 👍

Bliss

Absolutely beautiful. Tranquility at it's best. The little personal touches, e.g., fruit in the basket, milk and water in the fridge, copious amount of coffee and tea, not forgetting glorious bathrobes in the cupboard. The bungalow has everything you need to make breakfast.

Magnificent

This place is magical, I took my fiancé for his birthday and we fell in love instantly, we appreciated all the attention to detail in the cabin and the cosy homely feel. The majestic views of the mountains and to watch the horses graze in the field brought a feeling of peace and tranquility. Our host, Sue was amazing and so helpful. Thank you, thank you, we will be back again and again.

Exceptional stay.

An absolutely wonderful stay at an incredible accommodation. The staff were super friendly and so helpful. The views are amazing and the hot tub is always a win. We will definitely be going back soon!

Two night heaven.

We are always looking for that unique place, far from the “madding crowd “ but close enough to drive to shops and restaurants. We found it at this stud farm. Amazing one bedded cottage, fully equipped, including a simple to use wood fired hot tub and gas braai. Views were amazing in both directions and we were surrounded by fields of beautiful horses.

UkDonegal, March 2024

Highly recommended

We stayed in one of the twin rooms (garden view) and had a spectacular time. The room was very comfortable, lots of gentle hike routes and a fantastic mountain water hot tub each evening (despite some rain!). A perfect spot if you are looking for a place to relax and unwind, yet not far from Hermanus. Highly recommended.

Great value and next time we will stay longer!

We stayed in the Camden Park bungalow in March. It is a new bungalow with lovely views from the back & front decks. A beautiful bathroom with a bath easily big enough for 2! It has sliding full wall windows to make it feel like being outside. The shower was great too. The kitchen was stocked well with Nespresso coffee, teas, milk and delicious biscotti. It has a 2 burner hob, a braai and fridge freezer so some self catering would be easy. The king bed was very comfortable with good linens. Being able to see the sea (day) and the stars at night through the full length windows from bed was fantastic. We did not use the wood fired hot tub. The surrounding paddocks with horses (and wandering baboons) were interesting as we have very little horse knowledge. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It is a short and easy drive to Hermanus. Great value and next time we will stay longer!

The ideal getaway!

My wife and I needed to get away from the hustle and bustle between Christmas and New Year. The Camden Park Bungalow and Hemel 'n Aarde Stud was the perfect place for this! Situated high up on the farm with stunning views down the valley, all the way to the sea. We were completely isolated, with the nearest bungalow not in sight. The bungalow is beautifully designated with quality and great taste. The hot tub was an absolute hit! The 4-night stay did exactly what was required, and we left rejuvenated and relaxed. Thank you Sue for all the attention to detail and being a wonderful host! We look forward to returning.

Andrew, January 2024

Excellent.

A unique amazing experience, completely private with glass all round, views of mountains, green pastures, horses. Top quality linen and interiors, and your own private heated pool. Only few minutes to nearest vineyard and 20 min to the beautiful beaches of Hermanus.
