Gorgeous and spacious self-catering accommodation set in beautiful fynbos gardens or overlooking an indigenous forested valley. Beautifully furnished and luxurious couple or family sized suites each with private sunset facing decks complete with floating "braais" overlooking the spectacular forest. There's also a private forest walking trail, a barbeque and fire pit area overlooking the pond and each unit is fully equipped with everything from a full kitchen to king size beds, DSTV, Air conditioning and free Wifi. Our latest edition "The Nest" tiny loft house overlooks the garden and rockeries and has a queen sized bed, mini kitchen, air conditioning, bespoke handmade furniture and a private garden "braai" area.
Perfectly located in the picturesque countryside, an area rich in history and with no shortage of activities, hiking trails, mountain biking, canoeing, National Parks, restaurants and tea gardens, just 10 minutes from beautiful beaches and parks and 15 minutes from the centre of town.
