The property features diverse accommodation options, including two Cape Dutch farmhouses suitable for families and groups, two private cottages (Riverside and Weavers), and seven fully equipped retro caravans in the Rocklands Donkey Camp. While the farmhouses are not pet-friendly, both the cottages and caravans welcome pets.
The farm boasts numerous amenities and activities for guests, including a swimming pool, farm dam with kayaking facilities and an island perfect for braais (barbecues). The surrounding area is internationally renowned for rock climbing and bouldering opportunities, and guests have easy access to hiking trails and rock art sites. The property also includes a country winery and olive shed, offering wine and olive oil tasting experiences at The Hen House Coffee Shop.
Alpha Excelsior serves as an ideal base for exploring the Northern Cederberg region, with its unique sandstone formations and diverse flora and fauna. The establishment is managed by hosts Connie, Lizzie, Becky, and James, who are committed to ensuring memorable stays for their guests.
