About Stanford Valley Guest Farm

Come and experience the ambience of a Western Cape farm in the mountains. Stanford Valley Guest Farm is nestled in the valley of the Klein Rivier, 10km outside of Stanford village. We offer comfortable accommodation in Stanford in 5 self-catering cottages, 3 self-catering family rooms and 10 large en-suite rooms.

Enjoy our safe and peaceful haven, have an exhilarating swim in our large dam or go hiking. Don't be surprised if you startle a duiker or ribbok on the way! On our 440ha farm we grow organic rose geranium and lavender for essential oils. Our Afrikaner herd helps to restore our soil and you will meet our chicken, ducks and geese roaming freely.
