We have walking trails of varying difficulty and length, ranging from a short stroll to a strenuous hike. 

We are adjacent to Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve which offers wonderful trails to explore. 

Cool off in the amber water of our dam, or if you are feeling adventurous, take a hike into the kloof below for a magical swim in the Duiwenhoks river. 

Our unique farm is home to an Eden-like paradise of fauna and flora. Local and migratory birds abound. Springbok, zebra and bushbuck are easily seen. If you are lucky, an evening stroll might be graced by the rattle of a passing porcupine or the grunt of an elusive Cape leopard. 

Unwind in a hammock, lounge in a comfortable chair, read a book or take in the beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. Savour the peace and quiet. 

Highlands View is surrounded by a 120km network of mountain bike trails which form part of the Grootvadersbosch Conservancy Trails. You can choose from 4 different routes – each with a varying degree of technical difficulty.  All the tracks are available to download here:

Our guest farm is the perfect base for exploring the neighbouring towns of Swellendam, Heidelberg, and Barrydale. Each town has its own unique character and hidden gems for you to discover. Take a peak into life in a country village.
