Pom Gratz EcoDomes is a highly recommended property for self catering in Tesselaarsdal for tourists visiting the Cape Overberg region.

About Pom Gratz EcoDomes

EcoDome Self-catering offers unique, off-the-grid solar dome stands that are situated on a tranquil, picturesque farm in Tesselaarsdal. If you like the wide-open spaces, Overberg stars at night, walks in the Renosterbos, then we look forward to seeing you soon.

Self Catering Accommodation

EcoDome Self-catering offers three eco-dome units. Each dome is set up to ensure big open sky views in an eco-sensitive environment with a minimal footprint. The toilets are all waterless, and the excess water from the Dome goes into a developing gray water wetland. Electricity is supplied by our off-the-grid solar system.

Please see the individual room descriptions with photographs below, to assist you with your choice.

On Site Facilities

Secure parking and braai facilities are available.

There are tranquil walks in our labyrinth, through our pomegranate orchards, and renosterbos rambles. You can relax in the hammock sunk into your deck or gaze at the sunset and evening starts at our star deck. You can chat to the hosts about the off-the-grid eco-friendly lifestyle – right down to the 350 square metre greenhouse, heavy with veggies, herbs and more.

Eco Friendly

Our entire farm and ecodomes, are totally off the grid (not connected to Eskom), all of our excess water goes to creating gray water wetlands, our toilets are water-less/composting toilets (which goes back into our farmlands) and our water supply is a mix of rain, borehole and or municipal water (depending on demand and usage). We also are encouraging the rehabilitation of renosterbos on sections of our farm.

Attractions

Tesselaarsdal is part of a new route, known as the Cape Country Meander. The route includes eight rural Cape towns, six mountain ranges, three passes, seven dams, and a whole experience of what small-town living is like in the Western Cape Province. The towns include Tesselaarsdal, Botriver, Caledon, Genadendal, Grabouw, Greyton, Riviersonderendand and Villiersdorp.

Tessies is found in the heart of the Cape Overberg, roughly 21 kilometres from Caledon and the N2. Here lies the quaint, virtually unheard-of village of Tesselaarsdal. It sits at the top of the Hemel and Aarde region 40km from Hermanus and about 32km from Stanford.

Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Thank you Sandy and Mike for your personalised attention to detail. We loved everything about Pom Gratz - the views, the stars, the herb garden, the tub and of course the quiet!
