Descrição
Hello dear traveller,
My name is David, I am 41 years old, from Germany.
I am starting a community farmhostel in the beautiful Hermitage Valley in Swellendam.
The farm is situated on 5 hectares of fertile land. On the land is a beautiful river with clear water.
The whole project is at the beginning, so right now (end of November) tha main work is cutting grass, improving infrastructure and planting.
Later, we are planning to have a small community, living mainly from the land and offering accomodation for tourists.
There will be space for Yoga, workshops and outdoor activities.
The farm will include cattle, chickens, vegetable garden and fruit trees..
In the surrounding, there are many paths in the forest and in the mountains, perfect for hiking and mountainbiking. Several lakes are nearby. The sea is about one hour away.
The Hermitage valley is quiet, but not remote. Swellendam with it´s shops is 5 minutes by car or 15 minutes by bike.

In every field, she operates independently and brings in many ideas how to make the place more beautiful.
Highlights are her Indian cuisine and the Yoga classes.
Not only did they set up a website, social media, Booking.com, Tripadvisor etc. for my place, they also looked for further tasks independently, like piling up firewood.
Swiss tidyness and work ethos combined with open hearts.
Can recommend them 100%!
