Honeywood Farm

 
 

Description

Honeywood Farm has been in the Moodie family since 1817 and borders the wild and wonderful Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve up against the Langeberg Mountains. It is a nature lover's paradise and offers hiking, mountain biking, birding, horse riding and swimming in rivers and pools, all in a peaceful and secure environment.

At Honeywood Farm you are able to take part in activities such as art courses, beekeeping courses and guided nature rambles. Weddings and special events can also be hosted here. Honeywood offers a variety of different types of accommodation. It has camping, a bush camp and isolated cottages in the hills for those who want to break away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The farm is a member of the Grootvadersbosch Conservancy which contains large areas of mountain fynbos, Knysna-type forest and some rare examples of unspoilt renosterveld or Themeda grassland. Beyond the nature reserve lies the Boesmansbos wilderness area, one of the best protected areas in the country.

Travelling time from Cape Town is about three hours so it is an excellent destination in itself, or a suitable stopover on a trip through the Garden Route. The sea at Witsand is only 40 minutes’ drive and, over the mountain through the Tradouw's Pass, is the beautiful Karoo town, Barrydale on Route 62 towards Oudsthoorn.
