Escape Corona. Cheval Vapeur Horse Farm is situated in the heart of Cape Town’s seasonal Wetlands in the Philippi Horticultural Area – a rural area consisting of vegetable and other farms on the Cape Flats between Ottery and Mitchells Plain. It is a wonderfully tranquil oasis and nature haven. Cheval is away from all crowds & large numbers of people (re Corona Virus)..
It is safe, secluded, peaceful and quiet but surprisingly central to Cape Town’s many attractions. It is truly the best of both worlds. The Royal Cape Golf Club and Zeekoevlei bird sanctuary (internationally famous) are within 10 minutes by car. Wynberg, Kenilworth, Plumstead and Muizenberg are 15 to 20 minutes away. The Waterfront and the City Bowl within 25 to 30 minutes. Stellenbosch, Paarl and the wine routes are within 40 minutes and the Cape Point Nature Reserve is some 60km away.
Birds often seen nesting or on and around the farm include Moorhens, Cormorants, Egyptian Geese, Crakes, Sacred Ibis, Hadedas, Cootes, Malakite Kingfisher, Dabchicks, Darters, Hammerkop, White Faced Ducks, Yellow Billed Ducks, Cattle & Little Egrets, Black-headed and Grey Herons and many more…. There is also a substantial community of endangered Western Leopard Toads.
The Farm offers 5 levels of basic, self-catering accommodation at very affordable prices
First level: There are 8 open-plan, single-roomed wooden cottages (which South Africans call Wendy Houses) sleeping 2 to 5 people each. Cottages that sleep 2 people have a double bed, the others have bunk beds and other furniture. The cottages share two separate ablutions each fitted with a toilet, shower and basin – please note that depending on the cottage booked the distance varies to the nearest ablution but it is never more than 60m away. Each cottage has self-catering equipment: kettle, toaster, hotplates, microwave and small fridge - crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils are also provided. The names of these cottages are: Club, Gate, Dam, Jane, Downtown, Gibson, Colin & Johan.
Next Levels – these are the brick-walled Mews units:
• 6 units (Tack Room, Tuck Shop and NewUnits 1 to 4) share the third and fourth ablution facilities (shower, toilet, basin) and have the same self-catering equipment and furniture as the wooden cottages
• 1 unit (Beverley) has two bedrooms, a kitchen/lounge area and its own en-suite private shower and toilet. There is also running water in the kitchen area. It has the same self-catering equipment and furniture as the wooden cottages
• 1 unit (TopFlat) has three rooms, a kitchen and its own Toilet and bathroom. It also has a balcony with a wonderful view of the mountain and magnificent sunsets.
• Mews Apartment (1 unit) is the most luxurious with 2 bedrooms (each with a double brass bed) and en-suite bath, shower and toilet, a kitchen and a TV lounge with DStv (premium bouquet). It also has a small veranda. There is a sleeper couch in the TV lounge that can accommodate a fifth person.
All cottages and units have their own braai facility – guests should bring their own braai tools and grids.
Cheval Vapeur does not have credit card facilities and any outstanding amounts are payable in cash on arrival.
Beverley has two bedrooms sleeping 5, a kitchen/lounge area and its own en-suite private shower and toilet. There is also running water in the kitchen area. It has the same self-catering equipment and furniture as the wooden cottages

Cheval Vapeur is an affordable place to stay, service is very good.
- Koleka Yaka21 Apr 2022
My stay at the Cheval Vapeur was excellent and would stay there again whenever we go to Cape Town and I will also recommend it to my family and friends. It was a great pleasure to stay there.

The owners listed on the website do not live there or visit place at all (I never met either of them in my 5 night stay). Even though I was expected, I was stuck behind the entrance gate for a long time and after several phone call attempts, I finally got through to John and was assisted to enter.
There is no reception so on entry, I had to drive around until I found someone to show me to my room. The lady who showed me to my room did not ask me for any money so I assumed Colleen will be coming later and hence my surprise when I got the message below from her via SMS. "Afternoon, Joyce, Hope you are comfortable at Cheval. Remember to settle balance outstanding of R1050 asap which was payable on arrival. Regards, Colleen."
I responded to her that she was not around and asked who I should pay to. She responded "You can pay Lesley or Thumeka, thanks." with no indication who Lesley and Thumeka were or how I was to contact them. Throughout my pre travel communication, there had been no mention of these two ladies. Fortunately, a nice lady came and introduced herself as Lesley and gave me her number to contact her in case I needed assistance and we resolved the payment. I received a final SMS from Colleen later to thank me for payment and I never heard from her again in the 5 nights I stayed there.
The room was clean and without any smells and the beds were well laid. The biggest problem with Cheval is bathrooms. There were only 2 bathrooms, each with a toilet, which meant queueing for everything. On top of that, one of the toilets has an open cistern with a broken flushing mechanism which gave your fingers a good workout to flush and then to stop the water running. If you do not require the use of a bathroom during your stay, Cheval will be a very pleasant place to stay.

I had a peacefull stay, enjoyed seeing the horses and like the tranquil atmosphere.
- Leroy Wentzel01 Jan 2020
Had to get up In middle of the night had to walk to the toilet. Rained wet on the way there showers are no where near the room, no DStv as listed, no wifi

It was not what we expected at all. The cabins is very run down although it was clean inside. I suppose you get what you pay for. I booked 2 cabins and we were booked into 1 cabin.
