The Napier Mountain Private Nature Reserve offers exclusive-use self-catering accommodation on a spectacular 550-hectare fynbos Napier mountain-top retreat with panoramic views of the Overberg farmlands and Swellendam mountains. Only 10 minutes from Napier and Bredasdorp, and 30 minutes from Arniston, this is the ultimate private getaway. Numerous private hiking trails with stunning views over the Agulhas Plains and tip of Africa are available on the reserve.
Boasting 2 perennial rivers, accommodation is accessed via a secure entrance, which takes you along a 3 km gravel road through beautiful farmland before you enter the reserve and begin the gentle climb up to the homestead which is nestled high up in the Napier mountains.
The well-appointed homestead can accommodate up to 8 guests and comprises 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen and dining room, and a lounge. The first bedroom contains a king-size bed, and an en-suite bathroom with a bath, a toilet and a washbasin. This room has sliding doors opening to the covered patio. The second bedroom contains a queen-size bed and a shower en suite with a toilet and washbasin. The third bedroom contains 2 queen-size beds and a shower en suite with a toilet and washbasin. The fourth bedroom contains 2 single beds and has sliding doors opening to the patio.
The large farm-style kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering with a 5-plate Bosch glass stove and electric oven, double-door fridge-freezer and a dishwasher, as well as ample crockery, and pots and pans. The dining area contains an 8-seater dining table and chairs. The lounge offers comfortable seating and a working fireplace. The open-plan kitchen and dining area and the lounge both have sliding doors opening to a large covered entertainment patio with outdoor furniture, and a large wood braai as well as a Weber. There is also a swimming pool and sun loungers. A perennial river with large weir runs alongside the entertaining patio and pool. Pets are welcome at the homestead.
Napier Mountain Private Nature Reserve forms part of the Napier Mountain Conservancy which falls under the Agulhas Biodiversity Initiative which brings together 9 conservancies in the region. It was set up by 6 landowners, who jointly own around 5000-hectares of contiguous land. It is an area rich in biodiversity and home to one of the world’s rarest plants, Erica Recurvata. Also a working honey farm, highly invasive alien vegetation is being removed to allow the fynbos to regenerate, once again providing the bees with their natural forage, which is rapidly disappearing in so many other parts of the Cape.
For energetic visitors, a hike up the mountain behind the farmhouse will be rewarded by the spectacular vistas of the expansive Agulhas Plain, including the most southerly tip of Africa.

5 guests' feedbackPeaceful vista,extra spacious house.
This accommodation is extremely suitable for a large family. We were three families and found it very comfortable.
Everything you think you need for a weekend away is here. Super friendly hosts, and very helpful. Incredible views.
The house is hidden in a fynbos eden. The bedding and towels are sparkling white and the house is spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you can think of. A big bonus on the cold weekend was the free fire wood and the cupboard full of games, which made our family time together so cozy. The owners were there to pick us up at the farm gate and went through the house with us and explained everything that was needed. We immediately felt at home and lacked for nothing.
We spent the most fantastic long weekend at Aristea. The house is huge, the bedrooms huge, the stoep has different seating areas dotted around so you can get away from each other if you want to! We loved the fact that we could take our dogs and we walked and walked and walked. The house has everything you need to ensure you have a great stay. Cannot wait to return in the Summer to enjoy that pool. We loved the fact that we did not see one other person.
