DanielsHoogte is a working farm rich in Fynbos and situated at the top of Aurora Mountain, approximately 800 meters above sea level. This hidden gem boasts spectacular views of St Helena Bay on the beautiful West Coast as well as farmlands of Piketberg to the East. On a clear day Table Mountain is visible in the far distance.

One is able to camp or stay in the self-catering mountain cottages situated in various locations on the farm.
