Aileen Anderson is passionate about riding her bike and planning ways to build more. She has 2 environmental master's degrees with a focus on water resource management but much prefers spending her time managing the Grootvadersbosch Conservancy. That job includes keeping 132 rural people employed in environmental projects. Aileen will welcome you to Strawberry Hill Farm, a member of the Grootvadersbosch Conservancy. For Aileen, the focus is on quality and comfort at the Strawberry Hill self-catering accommodation. And on showing you the wonderful, natural world you can experience here (preferably on a bike).

Strawberry Hill Farm is situated in the Grootvadersbosch Conservancy. It's a beautiful and secretive natural world, surrounded by glorious green landscapes, magical forests and luscious Fynbos. The farm is right next door to the Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve (this is a CapeNature-managed reserve). This makes it a wonderful setting for mountain biking, trail running, hiking, birding - or even just admiring the spectacular views from your self-catering accommodation. These activities are all available within the Grootvadersbosch Conservancy. There are also lots of hidden rock pools, dams, rivers and kloofs to explore on a hot day near Strawberry Hill Farm, so don't forget your swimming gear. We can also recommend a few places to go for some open water swimming training (if you like that kind of thing). A little further afield, you can enjoy kite surfing and whale watching at the Witsand coast (about an hour's drive from the farm). For rainy days, try some of the local favourite restaurants and coffee shops in Heidelberg, Swellendam, Suurbraak and Barrydale.
