About Rhodene Farm Cottages

Located just 90 minutes from Cape Town, our farm offers a convenient country escape, only 500 metres from a well-maintained tar road and within close proximity to the nearby towns, 5 kilometres from Prince Alfred’s Hamlet and 9 kilometres from Ceres. Framed by the dramatic slopes of the Skurweberg Mountains, the property affords sweeping views over the fertile Ceres Valley that are sure to leave a lasting impression.

Rhodene is a fully operational deciduous fruit farm, with pears as its primary crop and apples grown in smaller quantities. The harvest season typically runs from December through to April, when the orchards come alive with activity.

Self-Catering Accommodation

Each of our beautifully appointed self-catering cottages, as well as our spacious farmhouse, has been thoughtfully designed to combine comfort and practicality. Guests are encouraged to bring along their favourite food and drinks to make the most of a peaceful countryside retreat in well-equipped surroundings.

Inside every cottage, you will find ample built-in cupboard space, fitted countertops, and furnishings that ensure a comfortable stay. Each unit includes a television with a curated selection of DStv channels, including news, sports, movies, and children's entertainment. The kitchens are fully outfitted with a refrigerator featuring a freezer compartment, a stove with oven, a microwave, kettle, toaster, and a complete array of crockery, cutlery, and cooking utensils.

All cottages feature underfloor heating and/or a fireplace for cosy winter evenings, with fans provided to maintain comfort during the summer months. The farmhouse includes all these features, along with additional amenities such as oil heaters, ceiling fans, and air-conditioning for year-round ease.

Every accommodation option opens onto a private stoep area equipped with barbecue facilities, encouraging relaxed outdoor dining. Bedding and towels are provided, and weekly cleaning services are included to maintain a pleasant environment throughout your stay. Limited Wi-Fi is available for guests who wish to stay connected, and while the core comforts remain consistent, the layout and interior style of each unit offer something distinctive.

For a closer look at what each cottage or unit offers, please refer to the individual descriptions and accompanying photographs below.

Activities on the Farm

Guests are invited to enjoy the quiet pleasures of the countryside, whether that means relaxing in the privacy of your cottage, wandering along scenic walking and cycling trails, or casting a line at the bass dam. Birdwatching, stargazing, and leisurely swims in the shared pool provide a range of ways to unwind. For families, a dedicated children’s play area adds extra enjoyment for the young ones.

To enhance your experience, three of our cottages now feature private wood-fired hot tubs. These exclusive additions offer the ideal setting to soak in the mountain views or unwind beneath the evening sky. Use of the hot tubs requires pre-booking and is available at an additional cost for weekend stays.

Verified reviewvery good

Enjoyed a relaxing stay with my family. Friendly staff and the accommodation had everything we needed and and was very comfortable. Beautiful surroundings and plenty to do in the area, although we hardly left the pool as it was so refreshing and next door to our cottage. We loved it! Ek definitely return in the near future.
