Stay was very comfortable and Melinda went out of her way to make our visit memorable 😊😊

Clive South Africa

the incredible views, the pool , the wonderful balcony.

Joanna United Kingdom

Mel was an amazing host. We had a great time in a home away from home! Everything you could need was available. Thank you

Gustav South Africa

Fabulous view. Great privacy with nearest houses some way away. Sheltered pool. Inside all mod cons you could want, electric and gas cookers, dishwasher, washing machine, even a hot air fryer. Colourfully decorated, happy and relaxing atmosphere. Excellent communication from host.

Doug United Kingdom

We loved the location and the scenery. Surrounded by farms and lots to do if want to get out and about. Wine farms are abundant! Walks, birdlife, relaxing by the pool, visiting a farmstall, Adene's Farm Flowers is incredible and close by. Close enough to Ceres and Worcester if you need groceries or to visit some interesting places around these small towns. Just a wonderful place to stay and to chill - even if it is by the pool with a book!

Craig South Africa

What a delightful and charming cabin. Full of character and has all the amenities you can think of. It was easy to find, thanks to Mel's email with full description on how to get there and to access the cabin. A complimentary bottle of wine on arrival was a special touch. Thank you. The pool was lovely and clean and wow, what a spectacular view! It's a very peaceful environment and a perfect place to have some time out and a good rest.

Lorraine South Africa

One of the most special places we have ever stayed at. The peace and tranquility was exceptional. Melinda is also an amazing host, who goes absolutely out of her way to make the stay special.

Arinawessels South Africa

Spectacular views of the valley in a quiet mountain estate. The house is perfect for a couple or small family with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The mountain air is different; we slept and slept!

Deirdre South Africa

Everything! Mel was a gracious host and it really is a great place to get away from the city and be at peace.

Zulfa South Africa

We absolutely loved this place, everything from the exceptional views/sunsets, friendly hospitality, fully stocked kitchen, tranquil environment to really unwind, read a good book, take a nature walk to the dam and small river or play some boardgames. There’s so much to explore in the area like wine-farms and small curio shops that we also enjoyed.

Mel
Experience a unique escape from the city, subsumed in exquisite nature and Breedekloof mountainous views. Just 120kms from Cape Town. A tranquil paradise with over 100 bird species, unique Cape fynbos – even the rare Black Eagle visits. Hiking trails a plenty. Only suitable for those who deeply respect nature. There is a strict policy of no loud noise/music after 9pm. The house is stylish and well equipped. A once-in-a-life time experience to unplug in magical mountains and fresh air.
Professional publisher, writer, very chilled. Friendly and private I am available on phone / texts.
Built on a rare private nature reserve there are about 12 houses spaced at a distance from each other on the large property. The house is 19kms from Ceres, 20kms from Tulbagh, 9kms from Wolseley in the Western Cape . It's about 40kms from Worcester and 110kms from Cape Town northern suburbs. There is plenty of space to park, in the "front garden" and one undercover reeded parking space. Speed limit is 30km on the reserve. Watch out for tortoises crossing.
