Wellbeing is an integral part of everything we do.
For treatments and refreshments we use seasonal products from our regenerative gardens.
Taking a walk through the gardens, into the surrounding hills to the waterfall and fresh mountain stream is part of the journey.
Hiking, running or cycling across the open veld equally so for the more active.
Our kitchens and bars have your wellbeing deep at heart, with produce sourced fresh from our exuberant farm.
Discrete practitioners and staff include local people inspiring and proving the positive values and potential of inclusion.
You will find art and creativity everywhere, rich with the potential of the universe.
Above all
nature in abundance
grounding guest experience
encouraging appreciation and purpose.
FARMHOUSE58 is the first of several diverse developments in the footsteps of the NIROX arts centre in the Kromdraai Valley; true to the universal values of the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site, where our work unfolds amongst ancient rolling kopjes, grasslands, rocky outcrops, wetlands and waterways formed over millennia by unique cosmic events shaping the earth.
The majority of personnel at FARMHOUSE58 are from the local community, with whom we enjoy a commitment to heal past wounds and build a thriving society.
The buildings at FARMHOUSE58 are part of its farming history, repurposed and refurbished for true luxury, declining the culture of excess, appreciating beauty in the simple, impermanent, imperfect and incomplete nature of all things. With the gentle help of our resident team of dedicated local gardeners, the landscape is allowed to find its own way, with extensive indigenous planting.
Here, the passage of time is palpable, harmony is tangible, nature’s presence is like a warm stone in the hand. The earth is rich, the air pure, plants and animals thrive under the vast African sky.

The SHED was until recently a derelict farm storeroom and workshop, transformed with rammed earth walls, corrugated extensions and generous openings onto a gravel courtyard under established trees, overlooking rolling lawns.
Working with produce from our regenerative gardens and local artisanal suppliers we create balanced combinations served in the Shed, the Lapa, Joe's Boma or by special arrangement under the trees or the stars. We hold in delicate balance the epicurean pleasure and health of our guests.
