Petervale Farm
Tours in Ceres

Petervale organic Farm offers camping, self catering accommodation in old farm-style cottages and many more fun activities such as hiking, fishing and swimming to guests.

Petervale Farm is an 89ha organic farm, situated in the Ceres Valley, South Africa and has been in the Roux family for four generations. The farm itself is extremely fertile and supports many different types of crops. The farm was converted in the year 2000 from a conventional apple and pear farm to a diversified organic farm. After the conversion, the farm downscaled its pear and apple orchards. The majority of the apples are now used to produce organic apple juice, which is pressed on the farm. We also have an almond orchard, quite a few pear trees, a large vegetable and soft fruit garden. Petervale also has a small dairy herd, four donkeys, goats, sheep, rabbits, guinea pigs, an ostrich, beehives, chickens, geese, ducks and a pot-belly pig called Henry. The farm has a large pine forest situated at the foot of the beautiful skurweberg mountains. There are two large dams which supply all the water for irrigation and a natural spring, which supplies all our households with drinking water. There are several pastures for grazing, with a portion of the farm left uncultivated. This is done to encourage an abundance of wildlife on the farm. In two weeks we have been back to Petervale three times. Never have we stayed at a place where the owners are so friendly and helpful, the environment so clean and pure. This is definitely what paradise is made of and we can’t wait to come again!! Staying at Petervale was an awesome experience to say the least. A real paradise, the kids were so excited to work and play with the animals, the dam is clean and warm, the owner is friendly and helpful. Doogy, Bambi, and the peacocks, The fresh wind in the trees on a hot summer’s day, the dam, the farm animals, the peace, quiet and tranquility and a fun place for the kids and also the old, The awesome scenery at the river and falls, the wonderfully sincere hospitality of Reuben and his Team. We recently stayed in Petervale's self catering accommodation and had an awesome time. There are lots of fun things for the kids to enjoy and nice hiking trails as well. This was a perfect weekend.The extra effort into making this a rustic earthly piece of heaven is fantastic the farm animals is such a bonus for kids. Fantastic experience and we will make this trip more often. We stayed over the weekend past and what a great place, a real little gem! So wonderfully peaceful, a very scenic little hike to the waterfall and the animals are real bonus for the kids, especially little Bambi. My recent long-weekend stay at Petervale was the most relaxing time I’ve had in a long time. What an amazing place, including shady campsites, decent ablutions, a wonderful clean huge lake to swim in, hike to a waterfall, lots of fun farm animals and super-friendly and helpful owners. This place comes highly recommended and I’ll definitely be back for a visit in the very near future. The campsite was divine and the atmosphere so peaceful and relaxing. We will definitely be back and my sister and her family are also keen to come on the next trip.
