Skeiding Guest Farm

Perched on high, open rolling terrain in the Langeberg foothills near Heidelberg, Skeiding Guest Farm sits about 14 km from the town centre and makes an ideal stopover on the N2 between Cape Town and Knysna. Close to Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve and the Cape Floral Region Protected Areas, this family-friendly farm stay is a rural base for nature and country escapes.

Think panoramic mountain views, bright starlit nights and laid-back farm calm. This family-run guest farm has 9 air-conditioned rooms with minibars, private bathrooms, complimentary toiletries and coffee/tea makers, with daily housekeeping. Shared spots include a terrace, garden and a cosy common area with TV—country-chic and unpretentious.

Dive into an outdoor pool, fire up the BBQ area or spread a picnic in the garden. There are playrooms for kids, a library and a picnic area for lazy afternoons. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free self-parking keep things practical while the working farm setting supplies the fresh-air backdrop.

Complimentary wireless internet, laundry and dry-cleaning services, a library, a safe-deposit box and free self parking.

The on-site restaurant serves hearty, home-cooked country cuisine. English breakfasts are available daily from 8:30–10:00 for a fee—think seasonal fruit, homemade preserves, freshly baked bread, cheeses, eggs and even ostrich or pork bacon. Evenings can be a farm feast, with open-fire meats prepared by the resident meat chef.
