Accommodation Description
The Gaia Sanctuary is a scenic retreat offering a little slice of peace and tranquility near Swellendam, a small heritage town in the Overberg region of the Western Cape. On this working farm, you can leave your busy city life behind and enjoy a 'back-to-mother-earth' experience, reconnecting with nature and disconnecting from stress.
Guests can choose to stay in a lovely and unique A-Frame cabin, a glamping-style bell tent, or one of the scenic campsites – all of which share communal bathrooms. With spectacular views over the Langeberg Mountain range and uninterrupted sunrises and sunsets, The Gaia Sanctuary is ideal for those seeking a romantic weekend away, or an unforgettable adventure with friends and family.
Setting Description
The Overberg region of South Africa is a place of beautiful vistas, rolling hills and sweeping farmlands. The Gaia Sanctuary is situated on a secluded organic farm right on the banks of the Breede River. Swimmers, anglers, and canoeists can enjoy the river's benefits, while bird watching, stargazing and long walks are a must. Holiday clubs and a childminding service are also available for those who need them.
The escape is off the grid and ecologically minded, designed for guests to savour the river and mountain views. They have a vision of exciting artworks dotted across the farm, with an abundance of outdoor activities suitable for the whole family, encouraging people to connect with Mother Nature again and embody their motto: “The Gaia Sanctuary – Where Mother Earth meets your Soul".

Relaxing Place
Thee Gaia is one of the most reelaxing places I have ever been to. My partner and I stayed in the Boho tent and we loved everything about it. It's a nice place to go to if you want complete peace and want to connect with nature.
