Eikelaan Farm is a complete break from reality and a great place for recharging your batteries and clearing the mind. The silence, peace and tranquillity should leave you feeling totally relaxed and rejuvenated. We are situated 5 km from the historic town of Tulbagh and 1 hour and 15 minutes from Cape Town, off the R46. The farm is 200 hectares in size and is surrounded by the Witzenberg and Winterhoek mountain ranges.Eikelaan offers three well-equipped and clean self-catering cottages, overlooking the wheat lands and facing north. The cottages have indoor fireplaces and are equipped with air-conditioning. Apart from enjoying the tranquillity and the beautiful scenery on the farm, the cottages have large patios to enjoy sun downers and barbecues while watching the breathtaking views and sunsets. We offer walks to enjoy the fynbos, bird life, amazing sunsets across the Tulbagh Valley as well as great stargazing. Eikelaan is a working farm, farming with wine, olives, red Angus cattle, wheat and oats. There is an abundance of activities on the farm for the young and old. Bird watching is also highly recommended. For children, the cattle have proven to be a great attraction, especially during the winter months when the new calves arrive. Feeding the ducks at the dam is also a great pastime. Guests are welcome to bring their bicycles along for safe cycling on the farm.
"Hi, we had a wonderful stay, thank you.The only thing that can be looked at, is the kitchen.There isnt enough counter space, as well as tools, for example, we were looking for a jug, oven glove, etc.Other than that, we had a great time. ThanksJoy"
"A beautiful environment and acres of space for kids to play and explore. Accommodation was acceptable and comfortable but perhaps lacking a modern touch. 2 smaller cottages are definitely 2 person - 2 adults and 2 kids was a squeeze. Having farm grown veggies, eggs and honey a bonus. Staff were great, organizing a tractor ride for the kids. All round good experience with room for improvement."
"I had the best time at Eikelaan. Friendly service it was absolutely amazing, clean, more than what I had expected. Beautiful and peaceful."
"Perfect setting on a working organic farm. Beautiful sunsets, lots of open space and everything you could need for a peaceful weekend away from the city."
"Really enjoyed the position, very peaceful and relaxing. The bedside lampshades in the main room looked like they need replacing and the cottage could use a coat of paint on the inside. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay, it was lovely to see the farm geese on the pond and we saw plenty of other birds too."
"We stayed at Obiqua cottage. A lovely cottage with beautiful views. So relaxed and cosy with the indoor fireplace on those cold nights. My highlight was seeing how excited and happy my 22 month old baby was too see the sheep and geese every morning just a few metres away from the cottage. Would love to experience the farm during summer. Will definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends."
"What a surprise and value for money. Had a great stay even though it was only for one night.Enjoyed it thoroughly!!"
"Second time at Eikelaan. Our 1st stay was great, we have recommended it to all our friends. However we were very disappointed this time around. Our braai looked like it hadn't been emptied in months, had to empty it myself which wasnt pleasant. No soap or milk which I would have expected for the price. Very disappointing all-round."
"The accommodation was clean and well maintained. Fanie and Lynette were welcoming and very pleasant people. They made the effort to allow guests to simply wander around the farm and see all the activities that were taking place."
"Apart from a problem with the TV,nothing"
"Loved the view from the veranda, cottage very spacious, comfortable, electric blanket, aircon, fireplace bonus in winter. Loved dishes being washed daily when we went out. Loved open spaces for children, felt safe for children to run freely. Swimming pool and dam enclosed.Only improvement we can recommend is cleaning out all drawers and cupboards, as we had to clean it before use, as well as some of the kitchen equipment."
"The friendly greeting and care by the owner were great.The quietness and view from the cottage were great. Fresh eggs and veggies, organic , are available for sale from the farm and were really great. We will certainly go back!"
"<p>We were so at home at Eikelaan cottages. The cottage was in excellent condition, lots of space and very comfortable. Bed was fit for a king and I slept like a baby.</p><p>I would recommend it for anyone visiting the area of Tulbach.</p>"
"We had a superb time on Eikelaan, very close to Tulbach, central enough for daytrips to the West Coast and rest of Boland, spectacular views on the mountains. The cottage is spacious and very neat. The braai and fireplace with Eikelaan wood are stunning. The hosts are friendly and make sure that you enjoy every minute."
"We loved staying at Eikelaan. The kids loved the animals and we had so much fun around there and enjoyed our evening around the fire. Thanks a lot."
"We were very impressed with the quality of the cottage and the friendly owners made us feel very welcome, the extra touches in the fridge were a great help and the complimentary firewood just brilliant, we will be back"
