Get in touch

Sterrekopje is a 50-hectare regenerative healing farm, created as a place to feel held and return to oneself through deep rest, healing rituals, nourishment, and creativity. Each stay begins with a one-on-one consultation to create a personalised journey for each guest, unfolding through daily Rituals — intuitive treatments rooted in holistic healing — and seasonal Rhythms shaped by life on the farm. Led by ancestral wisdom, days might move between yoga, garden harvests and bread making, restorative body treatments, time spent creating, and slow afternoons swimming or resting in nature. Farm-to-table meals celebrate the seasons, incorporating freshly picked produce and locally sourced ingredients. Open from September through June, with stays from two nights.

The Destination

Franschhoek lies at the heart of South Africa’s Cape Winelands, surrounded by dramatic mountains, vineyards, and fertile farmland. Just outside the historic town, Sterrekopje Healing Farm unfolds across 50 hectares of biodiverse land cradled by the Franschhoek mountains, with productive gardens, natural swimming ponds, olive groves, orchards, beehives, and farm animals shaping the rhythms of daily life. The landscape is integral to the experience, from ingredients harvested for the kitchen to herbs used in remedies and rituals, creating a deep connection between the land and holistic wellbeing.

The Retreat Host

Sterrekopje Healing Farm was created by founders Nicole and Fleur as an expression of their shared commitment to regenerative living, nature, nourishment, creativity, and a more conscious way of life. Their vision was to create something beyond a traditional hotel or wellness retreat: a home and sanctuary where guests can slow down, reconnect with the body, and experience a simpler, more abundant rhythm of living.

Each stay is held by Sterrekopje’s close-knit team of holistic practitioners, chefs, hosts, and sanctuary stewards. Daily treatments and seasonal activities are carefully curated around the individual guest, while life on the farm naturally guides the experience — from movement and meditation to creative workshops, gardening, harvesting, and shared nourishment.

Accommodation

Across the farm, just 11 individually designed sanctuaries create an intimate sense of seclusion. Each is conceived as a calming retreat of its own, bringing together handcrafted furniture, elaborate murals, collected antiques, and fine soft furnishings. Generous living spaces, freestanding baths, fireplaces, and private terraces invite slow moments between daily rituals, while views open onto the farmland and mountains beyond. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to create a sense of warmth and connection to the surrounding land.
