About Camissa Farm

Camissa Farm, which means "place of sweet water" in Khoi, is located in the Banhoek valley between Stellies and Franschhoek. It is high in the mountains, up in the clouds with a stunning view into the valley itself and across the valley floor to the Simonsberg.

Despite feeling as if we are far from anywhere, we are actually only eight minutes from Stellenbosch. Various self-catering options are available on the farm.

Self Catering Accommodation

Camissa Farm offers a selection of cabins and a cottage. All the cabins and the cottage have hot tubs. Perched on the edge of two small lakes, the cottages have lovely views of the water, the farmland and mountains beyond.

Each cabin enjoys a fireplace to keep you warm while you snuggle up with a book on the sofa and additional heating in the bedroom.

Please see the individual room descriptions with photographs below, to assist you with your choice.

The Farm

At Camissa, we farm on a small scale and you may notice that our orchards are mixed. Olives, almonds, lemons, rosemary, garlic, rose-geranium, avos, walnuts, macadamia, and asparagus live happily together. This is to promote diversity and confuse the pests thereby reducing our need to spray.

There is a nesting pair of jackal buzzards which circle constantly and keep the rodents largely under control and at night you will hear nightjars calling and clicking stream frogs chirruping by the dam. If you are unlucky you may be disturbed by a raucous toad party.
