EcoDome Self-catering
EcoDome Self-catering offers unique, off-the-grid solar dome stands that are situated on a tranquil, picturesque farm in Tesselaarsdal. If you like the wide-open spaces, Overberg stars at night, walks in the Renosterbos, pet-friendly environment, then we look forward to seeing you soon. We have 3 eco-dome units; each is set up to ensure big open sky views in an eco-sensitive environment with a minimal footprint. The toilets are all waterless, and the excess water from the Dome goes into a developing gray water wetland. Electricity is supplied by our off-the-grid solar system. There are tranquil walks in our labyrinth, through our pomegranate orchards, and renosterbos rambles. You can relax in the hammock sunk into your deck or gaze at the sunset and evening starts at our star deck. You can chat to Mike and Sandy, the hosts, about the off-the-grid eco-friendly lifestyle – right down to our 350m² greenhouse, heavy with veggies, herbs and more.
Area Info
Tesselaarsdal is part of a new route, known as the Cape Country Meander. The route includes eight rural Cape towns, six mountain ranges, three passes, seven dams, and a whole experience of what small-town living is like in the Western Cape Province. The towns include Tesselaarsdal, Botriver, Caledon, Genadendal, Grabouw, Greyton, Riviersonderendand and Villiersdorp.
Tessies is found in the heart of the Cape Overberg, roughly 21 kilometres from Caledon and the N2. Here lies the quaint, virtually unheard-of village of Tesselaarsdal. It sits at the top of the Hemel and Aarde region 40km from Hermanus and about 32km from Stanford.
