Sterrekopje is a 50-hectare healing farm in the Franschhoek valley, an hour from Cape Town, restored from a 1789 Cape Dutch wine estate by two founders who deliberately rejected the hotel model. It calls its guests 'guests of the farm'.
The farm is regenerative and biodynamic, and the programme follows it: hands in the soil, horses, a cellar spa, fireside gathering and food grown metres from the table. There is no spa menu — treatments are offered as they are needed.
Sterrekopje's family format, from three nights, designed so that a restorative stay does not require leaving the children behind or handing them to a kids' club.
Children join the farm's rhythm properly — planting, harvesting, cooking, horses, fires — while adults get treatments, garden time and rest. Meals are communal, screens are absent by default, and the programme is built so that families end up doing things together rather than in parallel.
Parents who want to actually rest without outsourcing their children, and families who would rather make something together than be entertained.
Co-founder of Sterrekopje Healing Farm. Together with Nicole Boekhoorn, Fleur spent three years travelling the world in search of the right place to open a healing retreat, before putting down roots in the Cape Winelands.
