Pom Gratz - EcoDomes

The Story of Pomgratz Our Journey - to a new way of life ... After years of working and travelling, Mike and Sandy decided to settle down and start a new life in the quiet of Tesselaarsdal. We are an off the grid farm and eco-dome accomodation site, running it as eco friendly as possible. With waterless toilets, gray water wetlands and entirely off the electrical grid. So if you like the wide open spaces, stars at night, walks in the renosterbos, all in a "pet friendly" environment (as in our dogs and cats and the natural wild life), then we look forward to seeing you soon

We are an off the grid farm and eco-dome accommodation site, with waterless toilets, gray water wetlands, & off the electrical grid. So if you like the wide open spaces, stars and the milky way at night we will see you soon. Walk through Renosterbos, Pomegranate orchards and a labyrinth of love. If you love classic Overberg BIG SKY, then step away from the hustle and bustle, rest & relax or walk, run, cycle in a tranquil peaceful space. We have dogs and cats on the farm and I am sure that the dogs will come say hello at some stage. They friendly and enjoy pats (although some are shy) - but please do not feed them. 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, 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 about the off the grid eco-friendly lifestyle – right down to our 350m² green house, heavy with veggies, herbs and more. We have walks and rest areas on the farm and the surrounding countryside can be visited by trail running, mountain biking or day trips in your car. Or you can book an excursion with us to a local wine farm for tastings

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.
