Located 11 km from the centre of Stanford, Stanford Valley Guest Farm offers a garden and barbecue.

All units feature a seating area. There is also a kitchenette in some of the units, fitted with a microwave. Every unit features a private bathroom with a bath or shower. Towels and bed linen are offered.

My husband and I spent a long weekend on the farm and were blown away by its beauty. We stayed at one of the Fynbos rooms which were spacious with stylish interior design and a stunning mountain view. The rusks provided in the room are home-baked, there was always fresh milk in the fridge, the beauty products in the bathroom smelled like Lavender and Citrus Oils - high attention for detail everywhere you looked. Also, the farm harvests their own water! We booked Massage/Mani and Pedi and were able to use the SPA including the sauna rooms and cold water pool with mountain views afterwards alone. The treatments were done by the most professional staff and were superb. The owners and staff were very friendly and hospitable. If you want to take a swim, the farm has their own dam as well as a newly built pool with warm water. The Farm restaurant served amazing food - we enjoyed our morning coffees on the house! Dinner and Breakfasts were just lovely there. Daily activities in the area included hiking in the Phillipskop Mountain Reserve, kayaking on Klein River and exploring the Walker Bay Nature Reserve close to Hermanus. The wine farms in the area invite for a wholesome fresh farm lunch/dinner and wine tastings on the way. We cannot wait to come back! THANK YOU!

The historic and tranquil White Water Farm is situated in the rural Kleinriver Valley, 10 km outside of Stanford and within 30 minutes drive from Hermanus. The farm has mountain views and offers wedding and function facilities.

The property has spacious suites with a seating area and small kitchenette. The more spacious cottage bungalows offer valley and mountain views.

Everything was exceptional. The smell of the room was divine. Service from check-in to check-out was perfect. Jordan was very helpful and friendly. Loved the breakfast! The kitchen has everything you need, they have thought of everything and more. White water is peaceful and very safe to take walks or trail runs. I thoroughly enjoyed relaxing at the beautiful pool. I have finally found the perfect place to take the time out that was needed and I can't wait to return.

    Super nice young farm, with lovely decorated cottages with wood-fired KolKol hottubs. We loved the breakfast, it's all so nice and charming at this farm. We could use the SUP and canoes at the water, but the wind was a bit too strong when we were there. But great vibes, amazing view, good location to explore Stanford / Hermanus area :-)

    A lovely cottage well located in the beautiful village of Stanford. It was spacious, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. It felt like home. We were sad to leave and hope to return one day. Marié was an excellent host. She was there to welcome us, gave us useful information on the area and kept in contact.

    We stayed in the charming, romantic Fisherman's cottage and loved it. A very tranquil setting with mountain views and a frog chorus at night. Its a short walk to the wine bar for wine tasting, dinner and the substantial 3 course breakfast. The staff were all friendly and welcoming.
