Johan and Hendrika
What makes Die Tuin truly unique is its warm blend of rustic charm and comfort in a peaceful farm setting, surrounded by fynbos and mountain views. The décor is simple and cozy, with thoughtful touches like an indoor fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen that make it feel like home, whether you aree visiting in summer or winter. Guests love the outdoor experiences, from soaking in the private wood-fired hot tub under the stars, to braaing marshmallows around the boma firepit, or relaxing in a hammock with nothing but birdsong and fresh country air. With no city lights, the nights are quiet and magical, perfect for stargazing. At Die Tuin, we aim to make every guest feel welcome and at ease, whether you’re here to unwind with family, reconnect as a couple, or take a work break in nature.
Welcome to Die Tuin! We are Johan and Hendrika du Toit, and we are so happy to share our little slice of the Overberg with you. We love the peace and simplicity of farm life. Early morning walks through the fynbos, evenings by the fire, and stargazing from the hot tub. Hosting allows us to share this calm and connection with nature that we treasure so much. Whether you’re here to relax, explore, or just breathe deeply, we hope Die Tuin feels like a home away from home.
