Host review score
Nestled on the tranquil slopes of the Helderberg Mountains, our spacious air-conditioned rooms offer comfort with either a private balcony or secluded garden. Guests can enjoy the unique presence of a resident owl family that breeds yearly in our garden tree. We are within walking distance of the Helderberg Nature Reserve, 3 km from shops and restaurants, and just minutes from Lourensford and Morgenster Wine Estates, Erinvale Golf Estate, and the Strand’s white beaches. The Stellenbosch winelands begin only 10 km away. Our décor supports local African communities and features natural, eco-friendly design. Each room includes a top-quality king-size bed with premium linen and Marina wool, heat-regulating duvets for a truly restful stay.
After hosting in the UK I moved back to SA last year. As a host, I truly enjoy connecting with people and creating a welcoming, peaceful space for every guest. My love for wildlife, travel, and the simple gift of life has shaped the way I live — and the way I host. I’ve spent time worked at a wellness centre in Thailand, where I saw how deeply many people long for serenity and the calming beauty of nature. Inspired by this, I decided to open my accommodation as a safe, nurturing place where guests can unwind, breathe deeply, and enjoy a restorative night’s sleep. Whether you spend your days exploring the natural wonders and vibrant culture of South Africa or simply relaxing in tranquil surroundings, my goal is to offer a space that brings comfort, peace, and a sense of wellbeing. I look forward to welcoming you and sharing the serenity of this beautiful part of the world.
