On The Farm

Cornellskop country stays

Stay in thoughtfully restored farm cottages surrounded by open land, wildlife sounds, and the quiet rhythm of a working farm.

 Stay Among the Wildlife

Cornellskop’s cottages offer a peaceful farm escape within the rolling hills of the Van der Stel Pass Valley. Each home has been carefully restored to retain its rustic character while offering comfortable, self-catering accommodation.

Wake to birdsong, watch the light move across the valley, and hear the distant calls of lions and other wildlife across the land. Life here moves a little slower - shaped by the rhythm of the farm and the landscape around it.
