Our Eco-Cabins

Self Catering Accommodation in Hemel en Aarde valley

The owners, Kathy and David, have dreamt of having a small farm of their own for 20 years; a place where they could escape routine and live consciously. When they first set foot on the Stonehaven farm in 2011, they fell in love with its vistas and the sheer specialness of the place.

Having passed from one artist to another, there is an undeniable creative tug to Stonehaven, which has been designed to inspire, a space for those seeking creativity or a peaceful place to reconnect. As an artist, Kathy constantly uses Stonehaven as a source of inspiration. In fact, you’ll be able to find her art dotted around the farm.

Not wanting to follow the trend of their neighbours, Kathy and David never intended to have a produce farm that steered clear of planting wine or olives.

Instead, they made a conscious decision to preserve the indigenous plant and birdlife. No chemicals are used on the Stonehaven farm nor in our eco-cabins and most of the farm remains as close to its original fynbos landscape as possible. We urge you to take advantage of our Protea Walk that meanders through the farm to get a full sense of Stonehaven’s natural beauty.

Our farm manager Garth has farming in his blood. He was brought up on a farm outside of Grahamstown and studied horticulture and agriculture in England. He is in charge of the Stonehaven’s 6,5 hectares, its fruit orchards, vegetable, herb and aromatherapy gardens flourishing under his green thumb and biodynamic principles.

Garth treats the farm as a living, breathing organism rather than just a piece of land. Inspired by permaculture practices, our chickens take care of our soils and we create all of our own compost. You might come across some of our water flow forms around the farm, which is a biodynamic practice of rejuvenating Stonehaven’s water and giving that energy back into the plants.

Stonehaven’s self-catering accommodation in Hemel en Aarde Valley was completed in 2019, in line with our desire to be sustainable and eco-friendly. Our builder Mario-Pierre le Roux and architects, Ross Cooper and Jon Jacobson of Metropolis have created our beautiful earth-anchored eco-cabins for you to enjoy and relax in.

We do hope that you leave the Stonehaven farm feeling energised, creative and inspired to be more conscious of preserving the delicate balance of our precious environment in the world.
