Hathersage Homestead – Private Farmhouse, River, Pool & Cape Dutch Charm

Welcome to your peaceful retreat in Somerset West, Cape Town, where comfort, nature, and classic Cape heritage come together to create a truly memorable stay.

This beautiful 3-bedroom home comfortably accommodates guests with three queen beds and four well-appointed bathrooms, each featuring a bathtub, shower, and bidet for added convenience and comfort. Whether you’re visiting with family or friends, the layout offers plenty of space and privacy for everyone.

Inside, the home blends warmth and practicality. Cozy heating keeps the house comfortable during cooler evenings, while air conditioning ensures a refreshing atmosphere on warm Cape Town days. The spacious kitchen is perfect for preparing meals, gathering with loved ones, or enjoying a relaxed morning coffee before heading out to explore the area.

What truly sets this property apart is the natural beauty surrounding it. A natural river flows through the property, creating a peaceful setting where you can unwind to the sounds of flowing water. There is plenty of open space to walk, relax, and explore the surrounding nature, making it ideal for guests who enjoy fresh air and tranquility.

Adding to the charm, the property is home to a classic original Cape Dutch house, a beautiful piece of local history that reflects the region’s architectural heritage. The grounds also occasionally host horses, so you may be lucky enough to see them grazing nearby during your stay.

The location is another highlight. The home is situated right around the corner from the renowned Lourensford Wine Estate, one of Somerset West’s most beloved wine farms. Guests can easily enjoy wine tastings, restaurants, markets, and scenic vineyard views just minutes away.

Despite the peaceful natural setting, you’re still close to everything Somerset West and the greater Cape Town area have to offer—world-class wineries, hiking trails, beaches, and stunning mountain scenery.

Whether you’re relaxing by the river, taking a walk through the open grounds, visiting nearby wine estates, or simply enjoying the comfort of the home, this property offers the perfect base for a memorable stay in the Cape.

If you need recommendations during your visit, we’re always happy to help with local restaurants, wine farms, and hidden gems in the area.

We look forward to welcoming you to Somerset West.
