Nestled serenely at the base of the majestic Olifantsberg mountain…
In the heart of the Breede River Valley, Eikehof Farm is a living piece of history, surrounded by nature’s timeless beauty. At the center of it all is our Manor House, a historic gem that began its story in 1791 and was completed in 1841. Built in the classic Cape Dutch style, it features original Yellow Wood and Oregon floors, thick stone walls, and high ceilings that bring a sense of warmth and history to the space.
Alongside the Manor House, we offer four cozy cottages, each thoughtfully furnished to blend comfort with old-world charm. As you explore our 128-hectare estate, you’ll find lush gardens, stunning panoramic mountain views, and our thriving organic vegetable garden.
The farm is home to over 1,200 fruit trees, including citrus and olives, a small Pinotage vineyard, and a tranquil Blue Gum forest, offering an authentic slice of farm life. Adding to the charm, the property is alive with friendly farm animals, including chickens, turkeys, and our cherished donkeys, Sebastian and Lu Lu, who are always a favorite with visitors.
During harvest season, guests can indulge in a delightful farm-to-table experience. This includes freshly picked produce, homemade olive oil, farm-fresh eggs, and organic fruit straight from the trees scattered across the property—a true celebration of the farm's abundant bounty.
We invite you to slow down and take in the relaxed charm of a place where history and nature come together. Whether you’re here for a peaceful retreat or to make lasting memories, Eikehof provides a perfect escape in the heart of South Africa.
Kindly be advised that Eikehof is a fully operational working farm, where we proudly produce limited batches of Pinotage, olive oil, and honey. Additionally, it is a home to our beloved farm animals.
While Eikehof is dedicated to providing the unique charm and exclusivity of a boutique farm experience, we want to make you aware that the sound of our lawn mower and the presence of our dedicated staff members tending to the grounds may occasionally grace your visit. We hope you find these aspects of our farm life add to the genuine and authentic experience we offer at Eikehof.
