Welcome to Our Guestfarm
Rest. Retreat. Reconnect.
Our accommodation is nestled near the tranquil village of Groot Brakrivier, along South Africa’s scenic Garden Route. Perched on a hill in the farm area, surrounded by fynbos and untouched nature, it offers a peaceful retreat. While you can enjoy breathtaking ocean views from the property, the nearest beach is just a 7-minute drive away.
On the farm, you'll find sheep and chickens, creating a serene environment perfect for unwinding, reconnecting with nature, and spending quality time with loved ones.
Bo-den-See, meaning "Above the Sea," is inspired by the German Bodensee—a 63km-long lake bordering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Your host, Sophia Nortje, named the farm in honor of her German heritage, which remains close to her heart.

Based on Air B&B and Lekker Slaap.
What a wonderful spot - the cottage is absolutely beautiful and the view itsself is worth the price on its own. The space is so neat and clean and comfortable, with a cozy fireplace, lovely deck with loungers and such a peaceful vibe. There were chickens and sheepies walking around to round off the farm feeling. The team was super friendly and check in was a breeze
Such a beautiful place! Really felt at home from the start. I dealt with the team and what amazing hosts they were. In fact, their genuineness as lovely people came through with every interaction, truly adding something extra, to make sure we enjoyed every minute. As an extra trip...try to book this gem when there's a full moon...absolutely perfect combination!
Wow! What an amazing place! We arrived to a very hot hot-tub, ready for us to dive in. The fully equipped kitchen and Weber made it easy for us to cook our meals. The view is spectacular, especially seeing the sunrise from bed in the morning. The tent and everything in it is brand new, and super luxurious. We were afraid of the tent being cold in winter, but not at all! With the gas heater and electric blankets, we stayed cozy all night long. We had such an amazing time! Will definitely be back for a longer stay soon.
