The original old homestead farmhouse at Stanford Hills Accommodation at Stanford Hills Estate has stood the test of time. Steeped in a rich history that spans over 160 years, the house is believed to have been built by the founder of Stanford, Philippus de Bruyn, shortly after he bought the farm in 1855. It went on to become a school for girls in the 1890s. Over the years Stanford Hills Estate often changed hands until it was purchased by Jami and Peter Kastner in 2005.

“Stanford Hills Accommodation is set in a great location with lots of space. Both our four-year-old daughter and our puppy had a blast walking around the property. The tents were super-sturdy - we were there during some very heavy wind and rain, and we had no issues. The beds had electrically heated blankets and were very comfortable.” Willem Jens
“Stanford Hills Accommodation offers glamping at its best. Neat accommodation, good sleeping facilities. Beautiful views and surroundings. Excellent for a quick breakaway from city life.” Navigator
“What a great place! The perfect getaway to relax with scenic views of the mountains and dam in front of the tents. The tents are well-equipped and super clean. The camp area is well kept and wildlife is abundant. I would highly recommend Stanford Hills Accommodation’s AfriCamps, and will be back soon.” Bruce Geldart
“We invited some special friends to join us in the grand old Manor House at Stanford Hills and found it a perfect home-from-home. The crisp white sheets, superb mattress in the main bedroom, elegant wine glasses and loads of space for the kids, suited us perfectly.” Phillippa M
“We stayed in the beautifully decorated Sylvia and Brunia Cottages which were well-equipped with comfortable beds. Stanford Hills Accommodation is dog-friendly and the staff were very welcoming. Lovely weekend getaway cottages with lots to do in and around Stanford. We attended a wedding at the venue, and the food that came out of the kitchen of the Tasting Room was excellent.” Edwina
