Local's Tips

The property's central location makes it ideal for exploring Stanford on foot. The Klein River is just a 10-minute stroll away via the Stanford Wandelpad (River Walk). Early mornings are best for bird watching - there's even a bird hide just down the road that locals frequent.

Stanford itself is a culinary destination with more than 20 restaurants in town and on nearby farms. Everything is within walking distance - a real boon for families who want their kids to experience the freedom of village life. Winter visitors will appreciate the cozy fireplaces in both properties.

Nearby Attractions

Stanford serves as an excellent base for exploring the Overberg region. It's a short drive to Hermanus for whale watching (July to November) and Gansbaai for shark cage diving. The area is known for its award-winning wineries, craft beer breweries and artisanal cheese makers - most offering tastings that show off the region's agricultural bounty.

Nature enthusiasts can enjoy the abundant fynbos, mountain biking trails, 4x4 routes and hiking options in the surrounding countryside. Regular markets held on the Village Green offer local produce and crafts - a true South African platteland experience.
