High Season Farm is well worth the escape from the city

High Season farm-accommodation-Hermanus

Ever wanted to flee the city to a place of total seclusion for a weekend of rejuvenation and/or romance? The High Season Farm offers a true natural paradise on a beautiful, secluded farm just outside the town of Hermanus.

Situated in the picturesque Hemel-En Aarde Valley, this stunning 4-Star establishment has eight self-catering cottages, which are tastefully decorated and fully equipped to make your stay as pleasant and as comfortable as possible. The cottages can sleep between two and six guests.

You will enjoy the fresh air and sublime views of this country retreat while soaking in the peace that surrounds it. The cottages have fantastic views of the Babylonstoren Mountains and open paddocks grazed by the resident Nguni’s.

Accommodation at the High Season Farm

Each cottage is tailor-made for all their guests, be it a young family, a romantic couple, a family of six with their canine companion or even a group of three couples. All facilities are wheelchair friendly. Five of the cottages can cater for six guests.

All the cottages are comfortably furnished, including huge beds, linen, towels, clean bathrooms, plenty of crockery and glassware, as well as hairdryers and firewood for those cold winter nights.

You will also find complimentary items like tea, coffee, salt and pepper. Selected DSTV channels are available in each cottage as well as free Wi-Fi. Each unit has a built in braai on the patio completing the self-catering offering.

Not in the mood to self-cater? Coffee shops and breakfast establishments serving country-style cooking are within reach of the farm.

Housekeeping services visit the cottages daily and an additional laundry service can also be made available for an additional fee.

Explore the attractions of Hermanus

If you cannot resist the urge to explore the area, High Season Farm is within reach of most Hermanus’ attractions like wine routes, hiking, biking, paintball, horse riding, quad biking, village market and walks in the Hemel-En-Aarde Valley.

With limited cellphone reception in the area, you will always find something fun to do with your time. There is however, a radio phone available for emergency calls on the premises.

Because it’s a country-side retreat, children and pets are more than welcome at High Season Farm. There are a few conditions for the animals. If your children are used to the city, they will have loads of fun in the wide open spaces of the farm or they can take a dip in the farm’s swimming pool on a warm day. You won’t need to worry about your car or security as the valley is historically crime-free.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
