About 15 kilometers from Stellenbosch,
on the slow, meandering road that leads to Somerset West, lies
a piece of land that is as peaceful and as tranquil as it is
in unison with its surrounds. It nestles, in cozy comfort, against
the lower slopes of the magnificent Helderberg and from the
farmland's threshold to its northernmost pinnacle, high against
its towering heights, it embraces breathtaking views that stretch
across the width of False Bay to the furthest-flung beacon that
is Table Mountain.
You will want to stop at Yonder Hill; not only
after you first saw the huge and inviting gates that lead
to the welcoming homestead, but even more, when you have left
in your wake a beauty that beckons your return.
And when you stop to think about it, you will
realise it was more than natural splendour that called you
once again. There's a spirit here: of kindred fellowship,
of friends and of family and of workers too, so close as to
be one. And so close as to be one with the beauty that surrounds
them. |
