Description

For the true camper who dreams of finding a secret spot to have all to themselves, Honeywood Farm offers the ultimate escape. This is not a conventional campsite; it is a simple, private sanctuary that is generally only rented to one party at a time. Tucked away in a beautifully rustic setting, this is your chance to claim a piece of the countryside as your own for a few precious days. The experience is intentionally rugged and unpretentious, designed for visitors who find luxury in solitude, authenticity, and a deep connection to the natural world.

The heart of the campsite is a magnificent, enormous oak tree, which provides a generous canopy of shade and a profound sense of permanence. Under its sprawling branches, you’ll find all the essential basics for a comfortable stay, including a convenient electrical point and a small fridge. A dedicated ablution provides the simple but welcome comforts of a flush toilet and a hot shower. You have the choice to pitch your tent right next to these amenities for maximum convenience, or for a more secluded feel, you can set up across the dam and take a scenic walk over a small bridge to reach the facilities.

Getting to this secluded haven is part of the adventure. The final approach is via a classic farm track, and while standard sedans often make the journey without issue, a vehicle with higher clearance, like a 4x4 or a bakkie, is ideal and adds to the sense of getting away from it all. It is this beautiful combination of complete privacy, essential comforts, and an authentic, rugged farm environment that makes Honeywood a truly special and unforgettable getaway for those who appreciate the simpler things in life.

Honeywood Farm is a great place to stay when exploring the Grootvaderbosch area. Before our visit there had been forest fires in the region, but John communicated with us beforehand and reassured us that the trails were still accessible, which gave us peace of mind to continue with our plans.

Although there was a double booking at the campsite and we experienced some rainy weather (not so pleasant after several days of camping from place to place), we really appreciated John’s hospitality and willingness to help. He kindly accommodated us in one of the cottages for a night.

The farm itself is peaceful and rich in history, with beautiful rolling hills and a quiet atmosphere that makes it easy to slow down and enjoy nature.

lovely lovely place, absolutely beautiful, no noise just nature, we stayed in the bushcamp which unfortunately had no electricity or signal, but we made the most of it, beautiful sunsets! quite a while out before you manage to get signal but lovely place overall, the drive is a bit bumpy so beware

The best honey you can ever buy. During a visit to the area in the Western Cape we bought one bottle of creamed honey. We immediately knew that this was pure, unadulterated honey. Recently we ordered a case of raw unheated and unfiltered honey with our beloved creamed honey and had it courier delivered to us in Centurion. We love that each bottle is individually bottled and traceable to the hive and where it was harvested. The service we received was equally superior. Honeywood Farm honey deserves a 10 out of 5! This is real 🍯

An exceedingly pleasant stay!! (besides the giant spider. The horses were lovely ) We appreciate John's down to earth friendliness, and offer to accommodate an extra night. You really need it to make the most of the farm and surrounds, as there is so much nature, winding hilly country paths, streams, forests, and hills to explore and experience, besides outlying areas.

The cottage is delightfully sparse and rustic, with no frills or excess. And yet not lacking in anything or off putting or uncomfortable. It puts your senses at ease and makes you focus on the experience, Creation, and each other. Clover cottage is incredibly picturesque and welcoming.

The dirt road is 100% driveable for a hatchback, even a 50 year old one, though there are patches that care and attention, and don't expect to drive more than 30-40kms/hr if you're in a small car.

Honeywood farm was probably the most fondly remembered stay of our road trip, and we heartily recommend it!
