Sterrekopje

Facilities

• There are 11 sanctuaries & suites across Sterrokopje farm: each a private retreat with one-of-a-kind art, handcrafted furniture and a rich tapestry of colours and texture, cultures and stories. Everything in each sanctuary has been curated to foster deep restorative sleep and to inspire contemplation and creativity.

• The Atelier is a safe space to amuse or uncover your inner muse: paint, draw, mold, press or make — allow the power of creativity to heal and energise you.

• Sterrekopje has always been a warm family home and the historic Main House is the heart of the farm with its cosy kitchen. Previously the cow shed and wine-making barn, it’s a place to come together, eat, read, rest or just be

Main House

• Located in the historical Main House, lies the heart of any home, the kitchen. Sterrekopje has always been a warm family home. The original family resided in the manor house, now the Bath House which dates back to 1694. The second family to watch over this land, moved into what was previously the cow shed and wine-making barn. They expanded on this building and turned it into the spacious yet intimate main house of the farm. Now it's being used to commune, eat, connect, read, rest or just be.
