Heilfontein Lodge Tesselaarsdal, Overberg

….WHERE HEAVEN MEETS THE EARTH….

Heilfontein is a working protea farm, where we harvest Fynbos flowers from plantations and indigenous bush. We are located on both sides of the Elandskloof River which has recently been restored. It is a beautiful location which we invite you to share with us.

Heilfontein Lodge is a beautifully renovated homestead located on our farm, situated in the Hemel-en-Aarde valley (7km from the picturesque town of Tesselaarsdal). Perfect for guests looking for tranquil, comfortable and scenic lodging, away from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Heilfontein Lodge is a self-catering farmhouse with 4 luxury en-suite bedrooms and sweeping views of the valley down to the distant Riviersonderend Mountains. It is an ideal base from which to explore the area by day and return to comfort at night.

Our farm is 13km of gravel road from the main R320 tar road, between Caledon (23km) and Hermanus (40km). It is at the end of the road and quiet, as it overlooks a river and wetland with plenty of birds. Our main crop is protea flowers so there is usually something in bloom. The name “Heilfontein” means “Holy Fountain” and it is so named as the spring is reputed to have never run dry.

Heilfontein Lodge can accommodate 8 people in luxury: 4 Bedrooms, 4 Bathrooms

No children under 12 years and no pets permitted, please.

Guests have got access to

Swimming either in the Oak Tree Dam (500m) away from the Lodge or in the Swimming Hole in the River (200m) away from the Lodge. The water is nice and refreshing and a little tint of a tea-colour! Trout Fishing – In the Oak Tree Dam (500m) or in the Trout Dam (600m) away from the Lodge. Both these dams are offered on a catch and release basis. Mountain biking – there are lots of dirt roads you can follow for a nice cycle. There are also a developing network of single-tracks over private land. Permits are available from the local Poskantoor Restaurant.
Walking and hiking – there are lots of paths and route on the farm for you to explore (you can ask us for a copy of the farm map). By pre-arrangement you can access our neighbours’ land and walk to Stanford – a good 2.5 hours walk. Horse Riding – horse rides through the fynbos are also something different and exciting you can do. Our neighbour is a riding instructor. Wining and Dining – We are not far from the Hemel-en-Aarde wine route, where there is lots to offer – the best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to be tasted with different food offerings at some of the farms.
