Farmstay vacation rentals in Helderberg Rural

Gorgeous surroundings at the top of a peaceful valley. Close to wine farms and some nice restaurants. Peaceful cabin that's perfect for a quiet getaway!

We had such a lovely time on the farm. As others have said the photos don’t do it justice. So beautiful and peaceful. Jo was very helpful and the team in the tasting room were great. Wish we could have stayed longer !

We enjoyed our short stay at the Farmhouse. It is a charming old house: well-equipped, very comfortable and very stylish. Petrus welcomed us warmly and was most helpful. We enjoyed a swim in the lagoon, berry picking, a walk to the waterfall - and meeting Bramble! Thank you Elke for sharing the farmhouse with us.

Mieke’s cottage truly is a home from home. The home has all amenities, modern and very comfortable. From the moment we arrived we felt so welcome. There was a lovely welcome selection of drinks in the fridge, and a lovely bottle of wine. Lozanne is a wonderful host - she is attentive and kind. The children (and the adults) absolutely loved the animals. The splash pool was a lovely treat. We stayed for just over two weeks, and we were so sad to leave. We felt safe and secure at all times. When needed, Lozanne and her husband were on hand when we had a question. We hope to return to stay at the cottage when we visit in 2026. 5 stars in my opinion. Thank you for making our visit to South Africa such a special one.

Such a lovely place. Beautiful views, very peaceful, lots of amenities. Richard and team couldn’t have been more friendly.

Beautiful cottage with stunning views. We thoroughly switched off and enjoyed the fire heated hot tub. Highly recommend

Poenie's place is a delicious place in the middle of a dreamy location. We've spent 3 nights in her guest house. There is a double bed with nice bedding, a kitchen with a microwave and all the utensils needed. The bathroom shower was also great.There's a gorgeous swimming pool right in front of the house, that is shared with other guests. The view is spetacular, it was great to play domino while the cows were comunicating with each other under the moonlight. Unfortunately we didn't have the chance to visit the Middelvlei Wine Estate because we had planned on having lunch on Monday and we didn't check before to make sure it would be open, it wasn't. Oh, and It was the most beautiful place to walk, the lakes, the birds, the animals, the vegetation, the grape vines, everything made our stay unforgettable.

We stayed at the pool house at Mitres Edge for one night as we were attending a wedding nearby. It was incredibly spacious and we had access to the huge pool and lovely outdoor entertainment area and hot tub which was a real bonus. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

We stayed at Tim’s farm during our trip to Cape Town to spend time near where my father grew up. It was absolutely fantastic. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well stocked. My kids had so much fun exploring the property. There was so much to do for them: the playground, playing in the River, fishing, running around just being kids. It is so peaceful and tranquil there too. We enjoyed it was short drive to Franschhoek and nearby wineries. Tim was so lovely and responsive. I cannot say enough great things about staying here. We will keep La Ferme on our list of places to stay when in the area. Thank you for everything Tim!

Kirsty was an amazing host! The property was perfect with everything we needed. The whole estate is so well kept. The rusks were delicious. I didn’t bring the correct adapters for the hairdryer and within minutes of me messaging her she produced one! We will definitely be back. Thank you so much. You should be very proud of such a fabulous property.

A great stay that is a perfect hideaway. Dorita was a wonderful, understanding host and we would definitely looked to stay there again if we are in the area.

We really enjoyed our stay at Toinette's place (Liefde cottage). The house is neat and spacious, and one can savour the peacefulness of being on a farm. We had lovely strolls on the farm, there is a small stream nearby which the kids loved exploring. The kitchen is well equipped, even with a dishwasher which made staying there comfortable. Greyton with all its restaurants, interesting shops and nature reserve is a 30 minute scenic drive away. Toinette is very friendly and responsive. I would recommend this to people who need to get away from it all to unwind.

Beautifully decorated rooms with spectacular gardens! Welcome reception by host, clean room and comfortable bed. Value for money and highly recommend!

Loved the place. We had an amazing stay!!!

Such a beautiful location. We loved the plunge pool in the gorgeous garden. What a view. We enjoyed watching the sunset on the mountains. Great location on the edge of Rustenberg Wine Estate, with its lovely gardens.

What a wonderful place to relax. All amenities available, very clean and gorgeous terrace. Morag Ann is very accommodating. We enjoyed it very much.

A truly peaceful and beautiful little gem nestled between the beautiful Stellenbosch mountains. Leonard and Valeria are wonderful hosts who made us feel very welcome. I would love to spend more time here in the future, two days was not enough to enjoy the beautiful home and surroundings.

Deborah's place is absolutely wonderful! Beautifully designed with a truly amazing view! Gorgeous sunrises. Deborah was incredibly helpful and flexible with check in and out. Would highly recommend!

What a memorable time we had! The views are magnificent and made our long walks worthwhile.The beds were so comfy! We really enjoyed family time around the fireplace during the evenings. The kids had fun cooling off at the private pool during the day!... but the cherry on top was most definitely those breakfast baskets!

Our trip was made all the more special by our stay in Carol's beautiful home. It was full of wonderful art and artifacts and staying there was one of the highlights of our holiday. We all enjoyed the big, comfortable rooms, the lovely outside dining areas and appreciated all the amenities. The kids loved the sparkling pool and expansive, attractive garden. Carol was so friendly and relaxed and made us feel so welcome. We would wholeheartedly recommend their spot and hope we can stay there again in the near future.

Hanna and her family are the perfect hosts. They are close enough to be there when you need something yet far enough to have the space feel very private. The house was very spacious and perfect for our month long stay. The kids loved the pool and hot tub and they couldn't get enough of the playground and resident bunnies, chickens, and ducks. Their 2 dogs are also a delight! The house has great communal indoor spaces that were used extensively when the weather was not ideal. On sunny days we loved the patio and garden. The perfect location to spend time with loved ones.

Beautiful home in an amazing location. Felt right at home - house is just far enough from the hustle and bustle of the Main Street to feel very private but all within walking distance of anything you need. Jan was a great host and so was Eric who looked after us very well. Will def be back for future trips.

We had a great stay at this beautiful home. Everything you need is available and well thought out. We did have a power outage which was in the entire area for one of the days we were there. Other than that hiccup, we loved our stay. Host was very responsive. Wish we could’ve met them. Maybe next time.

Beautiful home with everything you need. Good space with kids too. Comfortable beds!
