This 800 ha reserve of farm 215 lies at the foot of fynbos-covered mountains in the unspoilt Southern-most region of the African continent and has sweeping views over the Agulhas Plains towards the ocean. From Cape Town it is a 2,5 hour drive along the coast to reach the gate of the reserve. Far removed from the daily grind of life, farm 215 is a private and secluded retreat where you can enjoy tranquility, an overpowering sense of space and the unique nature of the Cape Floral Kingdom. Luxury accommodation in three freestanding suites, spaced out along a meandering path in pristine nature or in a suite or two spacious luxury rooms in the old homestead. Meals, made from local ingredients and with an eye to detail, are served in the spacious dining- and bar-area. The 25 m heated lap-pool is reached via a wooden boardwalk from the old homestead. A covered courtyard provides shelter against the mid-day heat. Farm 215 is a pioneer in sustainable tourism: all new buildings and the pool are purely electrified by solar-energy and heat-exchange. All waste is strictly separated and recycled; no use of harmful chemicals or detergents; used water is routed back to the stream where it came from after purification. Guided botanical walks and guided horse trails. The primary purpose of the retreat “farm 215” is the conservation of a unique piece of the Cape Floral Kingdom, it is an important local catchment area, a sanctuary of hundreds of common, rare, endangered and endemic fynbos species and a rare meeting-point of different vegetation-types. The reserve is a haven for numerous birds and animals. The guesthouse-operations have been made compatible with the surrounding nature and –ever so politely- guests are made sensitive to the importance of safeguarding the integrity of our natural heritage.
