Atthedairyshed

AtTheDairyShed is a farm stay destination located 12km outside of Heidelberg in the Western Cape, South Africa. Situated in a picturesque green valley on the eastern side of the Langeberg Mountain Range, the property is surrounded by lush forests, fertile valleys, and abundant wildlife. The location serves as an ideal halfway point between Cape Town and Knysna, positioning it as a gateway to the Garden Route within the Eden District area.

The accommodation consists of two self-catering options. Rose Cottage features two en-suite bedrooms with an open-plan lounge and kitchen area, complete with a breakfast counter and sliding window that opens to an outdoor bar area. The cottage includes a private plunge pool and can accommodate up to four guests. Granny's Cottage offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite), and an open-plan kitchen and lounge that extends to a patio furnished with comfortable seating and a hot tub offering valley and mountain views.

Guests can enjoy various on-site activities including hiking, mountain biking, and river swimming. The farm features clearly marked walking paths, though due to the terrain's nature, visitors are provided with two-way radios for safety. The property borders a river suitable for swimming, though caution is advised due to varying depths and brown water conditions. Bird watching is popular, particularly in the ravine area, and visitors can observe local wildlife from their accommodation.

The nearby town of Heidelberg offers additional attractions, including annual arts and agriculture festivals, colorful street murals, craft shops, and local eateries. The property's proximity to Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve provides guests with additional opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and bird watching in a protected natural environment.
