The farm with its Rooibos tea lands, Buchu plantations and Citrus orchards is set on top of a mountain range in the Skimmelberg Nature Reserve. Around you the mountainsides are untouched and indigenous fauna and flora abound, like the Queen Magnifica, small game, many bird species and even the elusive Cape Leopard, which is now a protected species.
Skimmelberg is the ideal place to really get away from it all. The natural beauty and tranquility is truly a gift to your soul.
Skimmelberg Getaway can accommodate up to 8 people in total and is a lovely getaway for a family or a group of friends, but it is perfectly suitable for a couple as well.
The house is very well equipped for self-catering, but light breakfasts can be provided on request.
