    This is really out of town, in the middle of the mountains. Great setting. The views are fantastic, and there are several hiking trails on the property as well. I'd go back anytime I want to be in the area.

    An incredible Olive and Guest Farm situated in arguably one of the best locations of the Overberg Region! An absolute must for Urbanites to escape the city limits and breath!

    We stayed at the farmhouse. Quaint, well-supplied cottage (even had ground coffee and plungers) in a beautiful setting. Hosts were very good, getting hot tub ready etc. The bedrooms were lovely and the beds comfortable. Despite rainy weather,...

Porcupine Hills Guest and Olive Farm, just 1,5 hours outside of Cape Town, is located in the Overberg along the beautiful Van der Stel Pass. As a partner of the Groenlandberg Conservancy, the farm stands out from its agricultural neighbours, and guests have the opportunity to explore a diverse flora and fauna during their stay. Whether you're looking for an exciting weekend in the country for the whole family, or a quiet retreat for two, Porcupine Hills can cater to that getaway you've been searching for.
Our family have lived here for the past 12 years and really enjoy sharing the beauty and tranquility of this valley with our guests. Conservation is a priority at Diepklowe Private Nature Reserve, which is home to the endangered indigenous vegetation, Renosterveld. We are proudly affiliated with various conservation efforts, such as Cape Nature, the Groenlandberg Conservancy, Conservation at Work, Table Mountain Fund and others. We have developed wonderful walking and hiking trails that include our conservancy neighbours and offer spectacular views from the top of the hills. There are rare and endangered plant species endemic to the farm, a host of wildlife and extraordinary birdlife, crowned by a pair of Verreaux eagles.
Porcupine Hills is a 20-30 minute drive from Grabouw, Villiersdorp, Theewaterskloof Dam and Botriver. Hermanus is 45 mins away. Notable eating and drinking spots are The Melting Pot (Oak Valley farm, Grabouw; Zest Deli and Beaumont Wine Farm, Botriver, as well as numerous wine farms and farmstalls in the area. The Botrivier wetlands are home to thousands of waterfowl and the elusive herd of wild horses. One of a kind shopping at Dassiesfontein - all kinds of everything! Cape Canopy tours and hiking in the Hottentots Holland Reserve on the Viljoens Pass.
