Modderkloof Farm is situated at the foot of the Drakenstein Mountains near the Huguenot Tunnel on the N1.
The building that our guests stays in was the home of Cornel & Elize Grobbelaar (third generations Grobbelaars) which was renovated recently and divided into three self-catering units. It is about 10 minutes’ drive from the town center, local schools and hospitals.
Guests are welcome to use the swimming pool next to the main residence and the tennis court. When going for a walk or cycling on the farm, one has a beautiful view of our valley, Paarl Rock, Taal monument and on a cloudless day one can also see Table Mountain. Pack a picnic basket and find a spot to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. We are happy to arrange a tour at the farm for guests.
Modderkloof farm has been in the Grobbelaar family for four generations now. It was bought in 1893 by Kerneels Grobbelaar. Willem is the fourth generation Grobbelaar on the farm and has been farming since 1992 after he completed his studies at Maties. After his father’s passing his mother moved to a house for the elderly. The house stood empty for a few years. Now we want to share the beauty and tranquility with people longing to escape the hustle and bustle from the city life.
We are situated near Ashanti, Boschenmeer, Pearl Valley, Val de Vie, Babylonstoren, Nederburg, Avondale and Mellasat Wine Farms.
Nearby local attractions include Ashia Cheetah Experience, Taalmonument, Paarl Rock & Mountain Reserve, Berg River Brewery, Fairview Wine & Cheese, Spice Route, The Alpaca Loom Coffee Shop
