A Farm Retreat Beyond Ordinary

to experience life is to live

Escape. Discover. Savour.
Two nights at Eland House on Doornbosch Estate felt like stepping into a cinematic dream—South Africa’s southernmost magic unfolding one wildlife sighting, one crackling fireplace at a time. This is a journey you don’t just take; it transforms you.

A Sanctuary in the Overberg

Perched on a working cattle and game farm spanning 5,000 hectares, Doornbosch offers five self-catering guesthouses, including the romantic Eland House, set for 4–6 guests with en-suite bedrooms, indoor & outdoor fireplaces, a private terrace, and a fully-equipped kitchen.


Imagine walking in: your fridge already stocked (not just basics), but artisanal olive oil, organic honey, milk, wine, and a curated coffee & tea selection. That’s Doornbosch’s no-fuss luxury. Everything you need is at your fingertips, leaving more time for pure enjoyment.

Fire Before the Sun

Our fireplace was ready long before sunset. A warm surprise: Blessings, the estate’s thoughtful staff, had pre-lit it for us. No fuss, no faff, just perfect, crackling ambience from the moment evening fell.

Wildlife with a View

Day two delivered a private farm drive that felt like peak safari but with extra intimacy. Beautiful springbok, graceful eland, and striking zebras crossed our path against sweeping Overberg landscapes. That rush of seeing nature up close is priceless.
