Such a magical place! We went there for the last days of our SA-Trip. It was the best decission we could made. The view is stunning and were overhelmed by the hospitality of Jurie, Steph, Everjoy and Sonja. You have to visit this place whether for a stay or a farm to table event. We even got to see how they produce their cheese and gin.

The Shepherd & Salt Farm Stay Rondawel on Ouland Farm in Vleesbaai owes its circular shape to being a converted reservoir. Inside is modestly styled and well equipped for everything from home cooking, to movie nights. Gas cooking, backup battery lights and a mobile power unit ensures an uninterrupted stay. The surrounding valley’s edge is footsteps away with a sun bed furnished lookout, complete with open air shower and braai pit. Stepping out on either the lookout deck or surrounding 4km, 8km and 18km trail runs will have you breathless. Hansie & Grietjie padstal or Stoepsit restaurant and bar offer dining outings, but for a truly unique experience try the Shepherd & Salt Farm to Fork tasting of Garda cheeses and Gonze spirit aperitif. The closest beach and tuck shop is in Vleesbaai, for whale watching Fransmanshoek Conservancy offers unobstructed views of the bay.

A peaceful break away on the farm. Beautiful setting with a mouth watering view of the valleys. The rondawel is very well equipped with everything you need and more. Lots of personal touches, including some of their homemade cheeses and fresh milk and eggs. Stephanie, Jurie and Everjoy are fantastic hosts and have made us feel really welcome to share their little piece of heaven.

Delicious food made from local products, a wide variety of high quality homemade cheeses. Garda cheeses are produced on the farm according to special recipes. Stephanie trained in the art of their production in Italy. The portions are large and the presentation of the dishes is very beautiful. Stephanie also makes homemade bread and dessert. Nice atmosphere and amazing view. Before lunch, Yuri offers Gonzo-based cocktails and local wine, as well as snacks. We were very pleased with our lunch and thank the hosts (Stephanie and Yuri) for their hospitality and exclusive farm experience.
