Surrounded by canola fields and rolling mountain ranges, Aviary Hills is the perfect escape for a private and peaceful getaway in the Western Cape. The cabin was thoughtfully designed and tastefully furnished to ensure maximum comfort and views from every angle. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, this mountain escape is the perfect place to catch magnificent sunrises and sunsets, stargaze in the wood fired hot tub all while you let yourself relax and recharge.
They offer all the essentials and luxuries, such as bedding, towels, cutlery, crockery, coffee, tea, sugar, basic spices, and braai equipment. Guests can unwind in the wood-fired hot tub, cook in the fully equipped kitchen, or enjoy board games and cards on rainy days. Additionally, there is a custom-made hammock overlooking the valley for ultimate relaxation.
Located in the mountains of Heidelberg, just 2.5 hours from Cape Town, Aviary Hills offers an easily-accessible retreat that still provides the feeling of being away from it all. Guests can enjoy endless hiking opportunities on the farm's expansive land, as there are no official marked trails. For cycling enthusiasts, the farm offers a great ride, though cyclists should bring their own bikes and avoid opening any gates.
Fishing is available on a catch-and-release basis, but guests need to bring their own rods and equipment. The area is perfect for bird watching, with a rich variety of birdlife. Wildlife enthusiasts can view different animals, including antelope, caracals, and ostriches. At night, the farm's uninterrupted sky views provide an ideal setting for stargazing with a favourite beverage in hand.

Fantastic experience! Host really thought of everything to ensure that we would have a comfortable stay and not need to leave/wish for anything. So private and SUCH a beautiful/great location. A fire maker's paradise. Perfect for misty and moody weather as well as sunnier days. We will be back to visit this hidden oasis again!
