The Farmstead is a luxury off-grid self catering accommodation in the winelands of South Africa and is home to the yogaschool ‘The Hålo’. The Farmstead is ensconced between heaven and earth, where the mountains of Franschhoek and waterfalls meet. You will find a carefully curated cultivation of luxury cottages, a riverside deck, walks, orchards, trees, chickens and cows to anchor a land where restorative growth, regenertion and organic togetherness emerges.

The old farm cottages, with their original footprints, have been rejuvenated using reclaimed and farm-found objects, cleverly sewn together to construct a 'farm stay luxe’ self catering experience. There are two large cottages for 8 people and five double room cottages for 4 people.
In December 2021, I had the pleasure of running this special place together with the staff. It has been my long held dream to create a place where hospitality, wellness and eco-consciousness come together, and the owners of The Farmstead let me experience the managing of such a place. Go and experience the magic yourself!
