Description

Set in the picturesque Hemel-en-Aarde Valley between Hermanus and Caledon, Glen Oakes Farm offers a truly unique and exclusive escape. This destination is defined by its rolling green hills and the peaceful atmosphere of a working farm, famous for its pastured pigs and cattle. The real draw here is the sense of absolute privacy; the large, lush lawned area is rented out to only one group at a time. Whether you are a couple seeking a romantic, solitary retreat or a large gathering of friends and family, you have the entire space to yourselves, ensuring a quiet experience uninterrupted by other campers.

The site is a haven for those who enjoy a "back-to-basics" lifestyle, as it is entirely off-grid with no electrical points. This allows for a deeper connection with the natural surroundings, where the evening light comes from a crackling campfire rather than a bulb. While the setup is rustic, the farm provides essential comforts with neat ablution facilities offering hot-water showers and flushing toilets. Campers are well-catered for with provided braai grids and fire kettles, perfect for slow mornings and long starlit dinners.

Activities on the farm are centered around the simple joys of the outdoors. You can cool off in the rock pool or the farm pond—a perfect spot for the kids to splash around with tubes and inflatables—or spend a quiet afternoon fishing. The surrounding valley is a playground for hikers and mountain bikers, and children will love bringing their bikes to explore the farm tracks or interacting with the friendly farm animals. With its stunning mountain backdrops and exclusive-use policy, Glen Oakes provides a serene, grounded base for exploring the famous Hemel-en-Aarde region.

The Sol cabin lived up to its name - in the middle of a freezing Cape Town winter, we managed to soak in the sun! The location is beautiful and remote, you feel as if you are 'alone in nature'. The marked routes on the farm is perfect for trail running. We made good use of the kol-kol as well as the fireplace when it started raining on the Sunday. Although you feel "away from it all", there are some truly exceptional wine farms (and restaurants) down the road. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a rest & recharge breakaway!

A group of us stayed in the Stone House and WOW!! Hot tub, indoor and outdoor fires, multiple chill areas that all offer something different. Clean and the linen was so comfy! We explored the farm - beautiful dam, walk/run trails and we checked out the new SOL cabin which is beautiful and camping site with every single little nook and corner being so thoughtfully planned for the guests needs. Not just your normal campsite!

Beautiful farm close to Cape Town in a wonderful area. The wooden cabin is a great stay for a couple that need some time out. We relaxed in the hot tub under the stars, enjoying the night sky through the birch tree branches. Wonderful. Enjoyed walks on the farm and conversations by the fireplace. We enjoyed the pigs, sheep and gentle cattle and spotted a wild cat.

We stayed at the Wood Cabin and it was an absolute gem — already our new favourite go-to spot. Tucked away among the oaks and poplars, it felt completely secluded and so peaceful, exactly what we needed for a relaxing weekend away. The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay — from the fireplace and hot tub to the little stone pool by the stream. Communication before and during our stay was excellent, which made everything feel effortless. We're so grateful this beautiful space was available to us. We will most definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay in the Wood cabin this weekend. It provided a much needed break from the busy city life. The tall oak trees towering the cabin stood tall like guards, singing birds in the quiet morning, moonlight in the still of the night, magical flowing stream, the absolute privacy are unparalleled. We will certainly come back!
