Budget Getaways Review
Skeiding is a working farm near Heidelberg in the Western Cape. Situated halfway between Cape Town and Knysna on the N2, this homely family farm is popular with both locals and tourists. It’s considered the ideal stopover on a journey to or from the Garden Route – but you’ll most likely end up wanting to stay an extra night or three. Boasting panoramic views of the Langeberg Mountains, Skeiding exudes a sense of innate tranquility, old world charm and warm hospitality – ideal for a rejuvenating weekend away. Your hosts, Neels and Anné-Lize, are two energetic people who love life. You need to be able to run a farm, family and a guest farm in the same lifetime.
