Accommodation Description
Heiveld Farm Cottages offer a peaceful, authentic farm stay experience in the remote and beautiful Biedouw Valley, near Nieuwoudtville and the Cederberg. These simple, self-catering stone cottages are ideal for travellers seeking a true break from city life and an immersion in nature. Each rustic cottage is comfortably furnished with basic amenities for a self-sufficient stay: cosy bedrooms, private bathrooms, a kitchenette, and a living area warmed by a fireplace. Outdoor braai areas provide the perfect setting for starlit evenings. Guests can relax and recharge while enjoying wide-open landscapes, clear skies, and, during the right season, breathtaking wildflower displays. Heiveld is also a working rooibos tea farm, giving visitors a glimpse into traditional agricultural life in the Cederberg.
Setting Description
Set deep in the Biedouw Valley, Heiveld Farm Cottages are surrounded by unspoilt wilderness, rolling hills, and dramatic sandstone formations. The area is famous for its spring wildflower season, its crystal-clear air, and its deep sense of stillness. Ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone needing a real digital detox, Heiveld is both remote and unforgettable.
What We Love

- - Stargazing opportunities like few other places in South Africa
- - Rooibos farm experiences and insight into traditional farming practices
- - Wildflowers (seasonal) turning the valley into a carpet of colour
