Farmstead at ECS winery

Escape to an exclusive farmstead in the heart of Hermanus, this private farmstead offers a rare sense of space, seclusion, and understated luxury. Wake to sweeping mountain views, spend slow afternoons surrounded by nature, and unwind in beautifully curated interiors designed for effortless comfort. Just minutes from Hermanus` renowned wine estates, beaches, and coastal charm, it`s an exclusive escape where every stay feels truly special.

Located within the 35-hectare ECS Wine Farm in the picturesque Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, this exclusive four-bedroom, all-en-suite farmstead offers a private retreat designed for guests who appreciate space, comfort, and the slower pace of country living. Accommodating up to eight guests, the home is ideal for families, groups of friends, executive retreats, or those simply looking to reconnect in a peaceful setting surrounded by vineyards, mountains, and open farmland.

Every bedroom features its own en-suite bathroom, providing both privacy and convenience, while the generous living and dining areas create the perfect space to gather, share meals, and unwind together. Large windows frame the surrounding landscape, filling the home with natural light and bringing the beauty of the countryside indoors. Whether you`re enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the vineyards, spending long afternoons on the patio, or ending the day beneath a sky full of stars, every moment invites you to slow down and savour the experience.

Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in everything the farm has to offer. Wander through the vineyards and protea fields, explore the scenic mountain biking routes, or enjoy the tranquillity of the surrounding nature. A highlight of the stay is the opportunity to experience ECS Wine Farm`s handcrafted, small-batch wines during an intimate tasting hosted by the farmer, offering a personal insight into the passion and craftsmanship behind every bottle.

The farmstead also provides an exceptional setting for intimate celebrations, private dinners, corporate gatherings, and special occasions. Pre-approved events, bespoke catering, and tailored functions can be arranged through management to create memorable experiences in an extraordinary setting.

Located just a short drive from Hermanus, guests have easy access to award-winning restaurants, world-renowned whale watching, beautiful beaches, boutique shopping, golf courses, and the celebrated wine estates of the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, before returning to the peace and privacy of the farm.

More than simply a place to stay, the farmstead offers an authentic countryside escape where understated luxury, genuine hospitality, and the natural beauty of the Overberg come together to create an experience that feels both exclusive and effortlessly welcoming.

Beyond the home, you`re invited to experience the beauty of the 35-hectare ECS Wine Farm.

Wine enthusiasts can arrange a bespoke tasting experience with the farmer, where you`ll discover the story behind ECS Wine Farm`s handcrafted wines in an intimate and authentic setting.

The farmstead is perfectly suited to family holidays, weekend getaways, executive retreats, and special occasions.
