Heilfontein Log Cabin 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.

Our farm is 13km of gravel road from the main R320 tar road, between Caledon (23km) and Hermanus (40km). You don’t need a 4×4 but it is best to use a car with reasonable ground clearance.

The Log Cabin 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 it is reputed to have never run dry.

Heilfontein Log Cabin is a remote wooden cabin with a large fenced garden. The cabin is pet-friendly so you are more than welcome to bring your pets along. Perfect for guests looking for tranquil, comfortable and scenic lodging, away from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Heilfontein Log Cabin can accommodate 6 people: 2 double beds and 2 single beds with a single shared bathroom.

Guests have got access to

Swimming either in the Trout Dam (100m) away from the cabin or in the Swimming Hole in the River (500m) away from the cabin. The water is nice and refreshing and a little tint of a tea-colour! Trout Fishing – In the Trout Dam (100m) or in the Oak Tree dam (800m) away from the Cabin. 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 that includes the mountain from where you can walk to Stanford – a good 2.5 hours walk) Horse Riding – horse rides through the fynbos is also something different and exciting you can do with our neighbour who 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.
