Southern Yurts is a company that offers a unique getaway experience in yurts, which are traditional circular tents used by nomads. The company is based on Porcupine Hills Guest Farm and the Diepklowe Nature Conservancy, located 16 km from Botrivier along the Van der Stel Pass in the Overberg region of South Africa. The stunning location forms the perfect setting to experience a getaway in a yurt.

Porcupine Hills Guest Farm offers a wide range of activities on the farm premises and in the local region. Guests can enjoy activities such as swimming in the dam, hiking on various trails around the farm, mountain biking on nearby farms, and bird watching. The farm also offers wine tours and tastings at nearby wine estates such as Beaumont Wine Estate and Paul Cluver.

Guests who wish to explore the area further can take a day trip to Hermanus, where they can visit the Hermanus Country Market, Bientang's Cave, and other attractions. The area also offers opportunities for activities such as horse riding and whale watching (in season).

Southern Yurts offers several accommodation options: the Forest View Yurt, which is perfect for a secluded and romantic getaway; the Yurt Camp, which is suitable for couples, friends, or families looking for an adventurous but comfortable getaway; and the Botanica Cabin, a private self-catering accommodation with a king-sized bedroom and a sleeper couch.

Porcupine Hills Guest Farm also provides a wedding venue called the Secret Forest, a beautiful canopy of age-old trees that serves as a "Nature's Chapel." Visitors interested in hosting a wedding at this venue can contact the farm for more information.

Southern Yurts is pet-friendly, accepting dogs at the Forest View Yurt and occasionally at the Yurt Camp, subject to conditions and an additional cleaning fee.
