Onderhoek

Onderhoek is a beautiful working wine farm situated just three kilometres outside Vredendal on the R363. Vredendal is possibly best known for its famous wines and situated in the beautiful Olifants River valley.

We offer one self-catering unit sleeping two guests and a campsite for 20 people.

Renowned for its intricate irrigation scheme, the Olifants River allows for extensive agriculture and viticulture in the area. The valley is green and fertile, surrounded by the majestic Gifberg, Maskam and Koebee peaks, creating a peaceful haven with a magical setting for getting away from it all.

Vredendal is centrally located and the ideal base from which to explore the wild flowers in Spring, Namaqualand, the rugged Cape West Coast and the sandstone Matzikama Mountains. It includes the large vineyards of Namaqua Wines, Klawer and Lutzville and a number of petite boutique cellars, all of which produce some reward winning wines. Experience also the typical West Coast hospitality.

    13 August 2018

    "Nina was the perfect hostess. From ensuring that we had enough warm bedding to organising the braai wood, nothing was too much of a problem.This was the best farm stay we have had and was great value for money."

  • "Peaceful"

    "Peaceful setting, friendly owners."

  • "Green paradise in the drought"

    05 April 2018

    "The camp site has beautiful trees and lawn which in this drought is great. But it could do with a steakhouse style table or work area for food prep. The ablutions while okay could do with a revamp. The dogs are a bit intrusive but possibly a good security help. The hostess is very welcoming and helpful."

  • "Quiet and peacefull"

    30 December 2017

    "Nice place to stay, friendly owner."

  • "Warm Hospitality"

    24 September 2017

    "Despite the extreme drought that was depressing, the owners of Onderhoek Farm were warm-hearted and friendly. The caravan park consists of 3 or 4 sites located in the fruit orchard. Ablutions were basic but very clean."

    "A place to leave off any travel plans<br />"

  • "Not What We Expected"

    04 July 2015

    "Hi<div><br /></div><div>We booked the farmhouse at onderhoek on your website, but receieved a flat attached to the main house, the flat did not have a bath as shown in the pictures and description of the farmhouse. We were two adults and one child, after the first person had a shower of approx. 5 minutes we had to wait an hour for the water to be hot enough for the next one to take a shower.</div><div>The Braai we were given was still dirty from the previous people who used it.</div><div>The dstv had a banner saying the account is in arrears so for the three days there was no tv at all.</div><div>I feel that for paying R2250.00 for three nights is definitely not worth it.</div><div>Do you guys at Safarinow inspect the units you advertise on your site at all?</div>"
