"I think it is one of the most idyllic places I have yet discovered... it is a piece of paradise right in our back yard." (CEO Cape Town Tourism, Nov 2007)

Somerset Gift Getaway Farm is situated 16 kilometres outside the historical town of Swellendam in a beautiful valley bordering the foothills of the majestic Langeberg Mountain. The surroundings are idyllic and peaceful, with stunning views of the mountain, green pastures where Hereford cattle and horses graze, a serene spring-fed lake, and the lovely Buffeljags River which runs the length of the farm. The farm has ownership rights to a few thousand hectares of pristine mountain ground with breathtaking valleys, waterfalls and rock pools. This truly is a paradise for all.

"This has to be one of the most tasteful, well-appointed and comfortable getaways I have ever encountered. And without doubt, situated in one of the most breathtaking places on earth – I will be revisiting often!" (Donna Cobban, Acting Features Editor and professional writer for ‘Cape Town’s Child Magazine’)
