Sheep herding on Jantjie Farm, part of the working farm at this self-catering accommodation in Riversdale

About Jantjie farm cottage

Since 1946

Jantjie Farm Cottage is named after my husband’s grandfather, Jantjie (“Yankee” in English), a remarkable man who purchased the farm in 1946. We are the first generation to live here full-time on a working farm with sheep and rolling hills of wheat and canola. Conveniently located just off the N2, the cottage provides a peaceful stopover or countryside getaway framed by the Langeberg Mountains and the iconic Sleeping Beauty Mountain.

Step outside to take in the sweeping landscapes, enjoy the tranquil farm life, and experience a true Western Cape countryside retreat. Come unwind where legacy, nature, and comfort meet.
