About this place
The Good Earth Farm is an off-grid permaculture and biodynamic farm tucked into The Crags, 17km east of Plettenberg Bay on the Garden Route. Three self-catering homes (the four-bedroom Good Earth Farmhouse, the three-bedroom Forest View Homestead, and the one-bedroom Stable Cottage) sit on the edge of indigenous forest with views over the Tsitsikamma Mountains. Each home is fully off-grid with private kitchens, daily service, free wifi, fire pits, barbecue decks, and pools. The farm itself offers food forests, orchards, and farm animals to wander, with yoga, workshops and farm-to-table produce on offer. Gardens are fenced for medium and large dogs. Beaches, hiking trails and Plettenberg Bay village are a short drive away.
