About Rockhaven Lavender Cottage

Rockhaven Lavender Cottage is a self catering home on the Rockhaven Farm, a two hour drive from Cape Town and is a working farm above the town of Porterville. Unlike a number of surrounding getaways, Rockhaven has the unfair advantage of being nestled among the spectacular Groot Winterhoek Mountains.

Self Catering Accommodation

Rockhaven Lavender Cottage sleeps six guests in three bedrooms, a larger bedroom with a Queen-size bed and two smaller rooms each with two lovely three quarter beds with real mattresses. The cottage has two bathrooms (one en-suite with a shower) the other with a bath and shower, and there is also an outside shower.

There is an inside fireplace and outside braai area (with a braai grid provided). The lounge, kitchen and dining area are open plan and the kitchen is fully equipped (including fridge and microwave). Linen and towels are included. We provide a bath towel per guest, please bring your own swimming towels. Please don't use our bath towels outside of the cottages.

Wood can be bought on the farm (but not firelighters).

Stofelina makes delicious farm bread and rusks, but she needs to be contacted before you arrive to let her know if you wish to order. Stofelina se Winkel is always open with fresh eggs, milk and other goodies if you run out. Firewood is also available for sale. We sell all our produce from the farm.

Pets

Maximum of one dog allowed in Lavender Cottage. Please be advised however that Rockhaven is a working farm and there are both wild animals and livestock on the farm. If your dog has difficulty controlling itself around other animals, Rockhaven may not be the place for him / her.

The Area

The surrounding Jupiter landscape has plenty of walks, nooks and crannies to explore, orchards to lose yourself in, rivers to dip in and out of, buck to spot and enough snow every second winter or so to build a snowman. Sit on the stoep and watch the sun set slowly on the Citrusdal Valley, take a stroll to the farm dam and enjoy a dip in its crystal clear waters, walk further along to the rock pools and waterfalls of the Ratel River, or simply lie back on the lawn and soak up the rays.

The Cape Nature Wilderness area is close by as well and is famous for its floral beauty and places such as De Hel and De Tronk. Permits to enter the reserve must be obtained from Cape Nature in Porterville in advance.
