Off-grid perfection

Loved the fireplaces, the bird calls, the friendly dogs... and the total disconnect from the outside world.

Magical for families

Kids ran wild, we walked forever, and the cottage had everything we needed — we'll be back.

Accommodation Description

Witkrans Farm & Cottages offers an authentic, down-to-earth escape on a working organic farm just outside Stanford. Framed by the Kleinriviersberg Mountains and ancient milkwood forests, the farm is a sanctuary for nature lovers, families, and couples seeking quiet, space, and connection with the land. The farm features a collection of charming, off-grid self-catering cottages — each lovingly restored and individually styled. Expect thick stone walls, timber beams, fireplaces for chilly evenings, and big outdoor verandas perfect for slow mornings and starry nights. Solar power and gas appliances ensure a comfortable, eco-conscious stay, while panoramic views and abundant birdlife add a rich natural soundtrack. Whether you're wandering the fynbos trails, picking organic veggies, or simply reading by the fire, Witkrans invites you to step into a gentler rhythm of life.

Setting Description

Located along Grootbos Road between Stanford and Gansbaai, Witkrans is tucked between pristine mountain wilderness and coastal plains. The farm borders the Walker Bay Conservancy and is minutes from the De Kelders coastline, making it an ideal base for whale watching, beach days, and exploring the Overberg’s wild beauty. You can hike directly into the surrounding mountains, visit nearby wine farms, or simply stay put and soak up the silence.

How to get there

From Cape Town: take the N2 out of Cape Town. Once over Houw Hoek Pass, take the R43 towards Hermanus. As you enter the town of Hermanus, follow the Stanford/Gansbaai signs through the town. Once you get to Stanford [a small village on your right] continue on the R43 for about 10km until you see the GROOTBOS sign. Turn left onto the Grootbos road and pass the entrance to Grootbos Private Nature Reserve. Continue on the gravel road for 4.5km (you go down quite a steep hill) and then you will see the Bodhi Khaya sign, go straight past this and the next sign will say Flower Valley/ Berg n Dal/ Witkrans. Turn left at these signs and then the next turn off to the left will have a sign saying Witkrans
