What you should know about Helderberg Farm
We are the fifth generation of Hendrikz/Obermeyer family to have lived and farmed in the unique Boland Winelands. We are deliberately steering clear of the run of the mill commercialism on this farm. Wine grapes of the highest quality is produced on this farm with it’s exceptional terroire. We are situated at the foot of the Helderberg Mountain. The mountain indicates the expected weather patterns of the upcoming days in that if there are clouds gathering around the top, rain can be expected. Clear skies, on the other hand, result in beautiful sunny days to come. Visitors can expect to encounter indigenous wildlife on the farm. The fish eagle’s cry is regularly heard, blue crane pass over head on their way to Caledon and the Overberg and cape clawless otters leave their characteristic prints in the mud. Visiting birdwatchers have sighted over 100 different species of bird. The farm is home to one of the biggest Mountain Candlewood trees in South Africa which is easily accessed from the hiking trail. Visitors can be assured of having a surreal experience in the woodlands on the mountain side. Visible from the hiking trail is a panoramic view encompassing the Cape Peninsula, False Bay, Table Bay and Table Mountain. The location of the farm renders it free of most of the prevailing winds of summer and even winter, making this a very sheltered spot to enjoy when the howling Southeasterly wind chases most people off the beaches. Stocked mainly with produce from the farm, the kiosk is the next stop with Rudi’s chocolate cake as the highlight. Visitors can enjoy a great view from the tea garden and kiddies playground which are situated between some well established willow and oak trees. Granny’s Forest offers a variety of picnic and braai sites which can cater for up to 200 people. Rustic Farm Weddings as well as live entertainment in the amphitheatre are both popular attractions of Granny’s Forest. The use of loud music is prohibited in order to maintain an appropriate ambiance. Being a child-friendly location, kiddies parties are also catered for.
