In the calmness of the Langeberg valley and a mere 90 minutes from Cape Town in the Cape Robertson wine valley, Farmer Redbeard works on his land. He has an appreciation for the balance in nature and is committed to working in harmony with it. His self sustaining fruit and honey farm is a hidden treasure of wildlife, Cape fynbos, shimmering fruit orchards and vineyards surrounded by mountains.

As a working holiday on this traditional South African fruit and wine farm, guests can enjoy the adventures and seasons of farming and living, harvesting of the fruit; making of one’s own wine, mampoer and preserves; bee keeping, hiking, swimming, mountain biking and fun tractor rides into the mountain.

For those seeking tranquility and an opportunity to be pampered; a couple's or wellness weekend with a massage, sunset wine tasting, farm drive, vineyard walks and dinners is a perfect getaway. This visit promises a taste of traditional farm cooking and living; and an opportunity to gather your thoughts and maybe rekindle a romance. .
