About

We invite you to come visit our little slice of Sanctuary, our very own heaven on earth, for a completely back to mother earth experience, to leave your hectic city life behind and to come re-ground yourself and reconnect to nature and yourself, on a working farm.

The Gaia Sanctuary is for nature lovers, and Eco warriors, set along the banks of the Breede River, with breathtaking views of the Langeberg Mountain Range, and the most magical sunsets you have ever seen. Perfect for romantic weekends away or family getaways.

Our farm is situated in Buffeljagsrivier, Western Cape, a 20-minute drive from the Swellendam town centre, a mere 2 hours from George and 2.5 hours from Cape Town.

Come visit for the day or choose to stay in our off-grid campsite, or our gorgeous and bespoke A-frame cabin, or our boho River cabin, all with the river views. We are pet friendly, after all, what would a holiday be without your best friend.

The farm offers many activities to keep you occupied including jungle gym, canoeing, fishing and swimming in the river, walks, bird watching, etc. The firepit and braai areas are perfect for get-togethers and bonfires under the stars.

 Book your special occasion or event for an unforgettable experience and beautiful setting. Or choose to attend one of our beautifully curated healing retreats. Either way we know you will leave feeling refreshed and revitalised.
