We never planned to settle in Swellendam. We looked for a farm in the Western Cape and the moment we saw Hermitage Huisies we knew this was our paradise. And it truly is. The view is incredible. Hermitage Valley offers an abundance of outdoor activities whilst also presenting you with tranquility and peaceful atmosphere like non other.
