FRIENDS OF THE FARM GALLERY Dog-Friendly Stays We are proud to offer our guests one of the most carefully considered Dog-friendly stays in the Western Cape. With 5 pet friendly cottages, Three on the lower half of the farm with a little more seclusion and privacy(perfect for those dogs and owners that need a little more room to themselves) and 2 cottages on the main farm, closer to the activity of farm life and more suited to the more laid-back pups in this world. All our dog friendly cottages have enclosed gardens with a low wall to keep less athletic dogs in. Please note if your pooch wants to escape one of our gardens, they probably can. Browse through our accommodation page and take a look at Guineafowl, Plum and Shepherd on the lower farm and Apple and Almond on the upper farm to choose your perfect stay TALK TO THE TEAM VIEW COTTAGES BOOK DIRECTLY The safety and wellbeing of all our guests is of paramount importance to us.

Scroll down to get a preview of who you may see during your stay Abigail - " Abby " Abby was rescued by Howlelujah Foundation as a tiny pup! She is endearingly aloof and a big foodie, with a knack for finding anything edible while on a walk. She will greet you with a happy ‘woowoowoo’ and she loves to cuddle with her parents. She is the youngest and largest of the pack! Cobra - " Coby " Cobra came to us from DARG in Cape Town. He is a sensitive soul with a big heart and his snoring will put a buffalo to shame. He loves sleeping with mom or dad’s clothing and will destroy an ‘indestructible’ toy before you can blink. Sasha - " Smish " Sasha is the apple of her dad's eye, Sasha loves her soft toys, pine cones and swimming in the dam. She came to the farm from Betty’s Bay. She is a highly intelligent and sensitive soul with a slightly obsessive passion for tennis balls. Chevy - " Dingles " Dingles, was picked up off the side of the road as a tiny pup, Dingles loves all people and will find a way to cuddle with you whether you like it or not. A serious foodie, you can count on her asking for a snack at any opportunity. Shelby - " Shelby Shakes " Shelby came to us from DARG and has been on the farm from the beginning. The oldest of the lot she is the matriarch of the pack. A gentle bird with a love for a wade in the water and baking in the sun. Kai - " Bear " Kai is the new Alpha of the pack. He came to us as a problem child from Johannesburg and is now the best boy! He loves and will protect his mom above all else. He is a keen listener and loves to play fight with his sister Abby and cousin Chinook. Chinook - " Chokker " Our little Mak jakkals came to us from Rescue is Life in Cape Town. Chinook is particular about the company she keeps but loves her mom and dad above all. She is always keen for an adventure on the mountain and her favourite food is wild hare and fresh farm eggs. Clara - " Micky Mouse " Clara, a rescue from The Animal Welfare Society Overberg is the black sheep of the pack, a bit of an odd ball but super affectionate and insistent on attention. She loves spending time indoors with her dad, and would rather skip the hike if she has a choice. She will always ask for seconds Friends of the Farm Sharing our home with guests brings us immense joy — but nothing compares to the delight of watching their four-legged city kids revel in the freedom of farm life. From chasing scents through the vineyards to splashing in mountain-fed streams, dogs thrive here. Our network of scenic farm trails and mountain hikes offers plenty of space for pups and their humans to explore, stretch their legs, and soak in the fresh air. Over time, we’ve built a wonderful community of regulars from the dog-loving families of the Western Cape, and we hope your pup will soon be part of the Langdam Tribe — muddy paws, wagging tails, and all. FRIENDS OF THE FARM GALLERY Our Horse Rescues Langdam has accidentally become a retirement village for our 3 Horses, Moons, Lady and Angel. Originally from Have-a-Heart horse rescue, the original intention for their addition to the farm was to incorporate them into a trail riding program, it soon however became apparent that these three ladies were better suited to a life of luxury, which is precisely what they got. I Believe in Angels - " Angel " 'I believe in Angels' is our one-eyed Thoroughbred and former mistreated racehorse from Have a Heart, she came to us with one seeing eye after an accident led to an eye infection. She now lives her days happily grazing in the Langdam orchards and vineyards and will love you for bringing her a carrot, or two! Moons a Balloon - " Moons " Moons a Balloon or 'Moons, the extrovert and spicy gal of the three and also a rescue from Have a Heart. Western Winter, a famous Sire was her father, and a legend in the horse world. She is absolutely magnificent and will do her best to sneak onto the lawn for some tasty grass. She loves apples and carrots and is not one to share with her siblings! Lady Lady, our blonde bombshell Saddle Horse came to us from Have a heart horse rescue, an older gal, she is the surprising matriarch of the pack. A little on the shy side with humans, she has a fierce bond with her horse sisters. All the Rest No farm is complete without a flock of chickens, a gaggle of geese or a posse of turkeys. Langdam has all of the above, our vast array of poultry really adds to the out of city feeling of the farm. Wake up to the sound of our roosters crowing and join Lewis, our animal caretaker, while he feeds his flock . This collection of domestic fowl are often joined by their wild cousins, guinea fowl, franklin, weavers, hoepoe and hundreds of others. Turkeys They won't win the competition for the most beautiful animals on the farm, but they will provide you with some comic relief. Geese We have a gaggle of geese that are wonderful to watch as they drift majestically in the Langdam dam. They are feisty but friendly, provided they aren't sitting on a clutch of eggs! Chickens Langdam is home to a large flock of chickens, providing us with farm fresh eggs when they are feeling cooperative. The roosters will most likely be the reason you wake up at crack of dawn, welcome to farm life! Where the wild things are This page would not be complete without a mention of the wild animals we share this valley with. We are lucky enough to have 16000 hectares of wilderness on our boundary filled with the animals which belong here more than we ever will. The mountain sustains a nomadic troop of baboon, a healthy population of Rhebok, some very shy Cape leopard, porcupine, aardvark, duiker, Steenbok, Jackal, hare, dassies and an incredible variety of bird life. Our organic farming practices have helped to draw them onto Langdam itself, an honour we are proud to share with our guests. We hope you have the pleasure of seeing some of these elusive creatures ad ask that all our guests treat any animals on this farm with the kindness and respect they all deserve. Giving a little bit back Langdam is proudly affiliated with Howlelujah, a non-profit doing vital rescue work in Cape Town. Many farming communities face challenges in caring for their animals, leading to overpopulation, neglect, and unwanted litters. Howlelujah tackles this through education, as well as vaccination and sterilisation drives held twice a year at Langdam Farm in the Koo Valley.
