Porcupine Hills Guest and Olive Farm, just 1,5 hours outside of Cape Town, is located in the Overberg along the beautiful Van der Stel Pass. As a partner of the Groenlandberg Conservancy, the farm stands out from its agricultural neighbours, and guests have the opportunity to explore a diverse flora and fauna during their stay. Whether you're looking for an exciting weekend in the country for the whole family, or a quiet retreat for two, Porcupine Hills can cater to that getaway you've been searching for.

Our family have lived here for the past 12 years and really enjoy sharing the beauty and tranquility of this valley with our guests. Conservation is a priority at Diepklowe Private Nature Reserve, which is home to the endangered indigenous vegetation, Renosterveld. We are proudly affiliated with various conservation efforts, such as Cape Nature, the Groenlandberg Conservancy, Conservation at Work, Table Mountain Fund and others. We have developed wonderful walking and hiking trails that include our conservancy neighbours and offer spectacular views from the top of the hills. There are rare and endangered plant species endemic to the farm, a host of wildlife and extraordinary birdlife, crowned by a pair of Verreaux eagles.
