Canvas Collective Africa’s luxury summer pop-up hotel experience in the picturesque Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, between Hermanus and Caledon, is now open for bookings from now until April 30th 2023.
The site, located in a beautiful pine forest on the 300-hectare family-run Glen Oakes Farm, is only an hour and 45 minutes drive from Cape Town. The exclusive pop-up locations, fine dining, and curated local activities are what the Canvas Collective Africa experience is all about.
Hemel-en-Aarde, which translates to “Heaven on Earth,” is widely regarded as one of the most exciting wine areas in South Africa and is famed for some of the country’s best-producing pinot noir and chardonnay wine farms.
On-site activities include stargazing, professional guided walks, beer and bread making, and honey collection and bottling. The neighbouring farms also host world-class wine tastings. Onrus Beach is a short drive away for those seeking a bush and beach experience. The farm dam offers ample opportunity for guests to cool off on hot summer days, where delicious picnic lunches are served.
The beautifully decorated glass field kitchen restaurant stands at the heart of the camp, overlooking the incredible valley, where guests are treated to the finest of dining from the resident chef, with all protein produce coming directly from the farm.
You can expect adventurous but approachable dishes made with locally sourced ingredients and paired with estate wines and spirits distilled in the area.
The Canvas Collective Africa has created a unique luxury experience comparable to that of a boutique hotel. Guest comfort in the tents is a top priority with the use of high-end quality bedding, furnishings, linens and accessories.
Each tent includes:
- A king-sized comfy bed
- Off-the-grid generator power
- Complimentary bar fridge
- Nespresso machine
- An en-suite bathroom with a flushing toilet
- Breakfast is served daily in bed or, if guests prefer, in The Field Kitchen restaurant.
Whether you are an art lover, a wine enthusiast or an adventurous spirit, you are sure to find something in the area tailored to your particular taste.
The all-inclusive rate includes accommodation, breakfast, a delicious picnic lunch hamper, high tea, dinner and midnight snacks to enjoy under the stars. All non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages (except premium wines and spirits) are also included.
Each luxury tent sleeps two adults and is priced at an inclusive price starting at R3,450 per person sharing (single rates are available on request).
