Upon our arrival at High Season Farm, set in the idyllic Hemel en Aarde Valley near Hermanus, it was immediately apparent that we had stumbled upon something truly special. The farm epitomises luxury and privacy, with each 4-star self-catering cottage providing a secluded haven. Ours came fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay, including a private barbecue area, ensuring our visit was both relaxing and indulgent. The addition of inverters in every cottage meant uninterrupted power, allowing our evenings to be filled with warmth and joy. The panoramic mountain vistas greeted us each morning, setting the tone for days spent exploring the child-friendly surroundings, complete with Nguni cattle and several farm dams. Our time was beautifully divided between leisurely strolls through the stunning landscape, dips in the swimming pool, and delightful discoveries at every turn. The farm's close proximity to some of South Africa’s premier wine estates added a delightful aspect to our stay. A brief journey to Hermanus allowed for remarkable land-based whale watching, an experience we won't soon forget. The thoughtful inclusions, such as 20-channel DStv and complimentary WiFi, meant our downtime was well-spent, whether we fancied a quiet evening or wished to share our experiences with friends and family online. In summary, our stay at High Season Farm was utterly enchanting. It offered the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life, immersing us in the peace and splendour of the Hemel en Aarde Valley. This remarkable place doesn’t just offer accommodation but an experience to be treasured. So much so, that we were compelled to book another visit for December, eager to spend more time in this slice of paradise. High Season Farm is, without doubt, a top choice for those in search of a serene retreat surrounded by luxury.
