The vintage cottage is charming and cosy, filled with carefully chosen colour. Guests adore the comfortable bed and quirky interior. Comfort and a memorable experience for my guests are my priority. Early morning rusks and coffee/tee, warming sherry for a winter's night and more are provided in the cottage. Aircon for hot summers, heating, flannel winter sheets and an electric blanket for cold nights are provided. Special touch: sparkling mountain water flows past the gate. Kindly note: the cottage and its facilities are only for the sole use of two paying guests
I am a botanical artist, mainly focusing on realistic portraits of cultivated and wild flowers. I created a spacious garden filled with trees and flowers, which adds to my guest's sense of well-being during their stay. In March some guests like to assist with my small olive harvest :-) I also speak German, Italian, French, Luxembourgish and Afrikaans
Quiet residential street with typical Karoo houses, clean, running mountain water in furrows and 5 mins walk to village centre. Nearby coffee shop, farm dairy, restaurant and panoramic hiking trail access.
