Farm 215 Nature Retreat & Fynbos Reserve

 
 

Description

Farm 215 is a private and secluded country- house in the middle of a private nature reserve of 800 hectares, boasting the diverse and special nature of the Cape Floral Kingdom.

Farm 215 is the winner of the Cape Fox award 2007 for sustainable and responsible management of the land.

Luxury accommodation is offered in freestanding "fynbos-suites" spaced out along a meandering path and in spacious rooms on the first floor of the old homestead.

Generous meals, made from local ingredients and an eye to detail, are served in a new outbuilding which is purely powered by solar energy.

A solar-heated lap-pool of 25 meters is connected with a long wooden boardwalk to the homestead.

The access-gate to Farm 215 is on the gravel road from Gansbaai to Elim and Cape Agulhas, 200 km from Cape Town.

Farm 215 enjoys splendid isolation, an overpowering sense of space and sweeping views over the Agulhas Plains towards the shoreline.

All-inclusive horse-trails from 2 to 5 days through pristine natural lands of the Overberg and along miles of empty beaches.

Beach- and fynbos hiking trails (from a few hours to a full day) on the land of farm 215 with an experienced guide or by yourself with a detailed map.

It is a 15 minute drive from Farm 215 to both endless unspoilt beaches and the best spots to watch whales. Kleinbaai, the place to embark for whale watching- or shark cage- diving is 15 km away.

All elements of infrastructure and operations of farm 215 are based upon nature-sustainable practices.

Luxury off the beaten track.

Kindly note that we only accept reservations for a minimum stay of two nights.
