Dassenheuwel Farmstay: Silo Retreat

Scenically situated on a working wheat, cattle and sheep farm in a picturesque valley, Dassenheuwel Farmstay offers authentic hospitality, breathtaking views, peaceful living and comfortable accommodation. The two-sleeper Wheat Cabin is stylish, off-grid and secluded, boasting a wood-fired hot tub, a couple’s cargo-net hammock, an indoor fireplace and an outdoor braai, while the two-storey Silo Retreat sleeps offers two guests the unique opportunity to stay in a former grain silo.

Good to know
Just an hour from Cape Town and 18km from Malmesbury, Dassenheuwel is the perfect base from which to explore the beautiful Riebeek Valley, Wellington and Paarl (that is, if you ever want to leave the farm).
