My husband and I had a truly wonderful stay. Jan is an exceptional host—warm, welcoming, and incredibly hospitable. Even though we arrived quite late in the evening, Jan had thoughtfully preheated the wood-fired tub for us, which we deeply appreciated after a long journey.

The setting is peaceful and safe, and we loved being able to walk around the farm and watch the animals. As an extra treat, Jan shared some fresh farm milk with us, which was absolutely delightful.

Read moreOur weekend getaway to "House on the Hill" in Heidelberg was truly exceptional. Situated on a charming farm just outside town, this accommodation offered us a tranquil escape into nature's embrace, with the delightful presence of sheep, cows, and birds.
Jan and Annellie Meyer, our hosts, were warm and welcoming. The accommodation itself was a haven of comfort, as it's newly built and fully equipped with a modern kitchen and all the amenities you could desire. Despite the rain, we reveled in the breathtaking views and the soothing serenade of the Duiwenhoks River.
Annellie's hospitality stood out when she surprised us with farm-fresh eggs, Jersey cow milk, and a delightful pack of biscuits on our bed as a sweet welcome gift.
"House on the Hill" exudes romance and is the perfect spot for a weekend retreat. I can't recommend it enough to fellow travelers seeking a peaceful and enchanting escape in Heidelberg. Five stars,...

The cottages & the communal kitchen were very well equipped with EVERYTHING we needed to cater for the group meals daily.
