“We came for an Easter retreat and the Catholic Church was 15 mins away. It was healing and rejuvenating”
Tranquility simplicity. Close to nature. Also close to a range of wine farms. Hikes to walk and be close to nature. Enjoyed the small cabin that made us feel isolated.

“Charming and comfortable place to stay in Hemel en Aarde”
Really organised and easy check in with all details emailed and SMS'd to you prior to arrival. The place is incredibly serene and beautiful. Be prepared for being a bit of a distance out of Hermanus if that's a factor (but the description does show this). Well-equipped and incredibly comfortable accommodation. Really good value of money.

“A hidden gem for total relaxation”
This is a hidden gem (within the tranquil Hemel en Aarde Valley which in itself is a stunning place), exactly what my husband and I needed by year end. We stayed in the Old Farm Cottage, which has everything you need apart from wifi or mobile reception (this was a good thing!). The gardens are really beautiful, and the lily pond outside the chapel is a peaceful place. Very close to a number of wine farms (Creations is highly recommended) and farm shops, and 5 mins away from Hermanus (trail) parkrun.

The peace and quiet. It was just the birds that woke me up. Not the neighbours. If I weigh up all the pros and cons I will still go back to destress

We stayed in the Old Farm House residence and it was huge. Exceeded our expectations. The pictures of the property do not do it justice. It’s on a beautiful property and the rooms and house are big and cozy. We loved having a fire place and no TV. We loved being able to explore the grounds and going on mini hikes. Next time we’ll definitely go see the waterfall.

“Blessed.”
The surroundings, the atmosphere, the beautiful attitude of the staff, Meghan the German Shepherd and Molly the ownerdog, the monks, the chapel and gardens, the wood we needed for the fire. Just everything. Even the other guests were amazing!

“Great value for money, and to write, meditate, read. Also if you're in need of guided help.”
They are building on the road, so there's a few stop and gos and some building noise, but still worth a visit.
