Cape Point Mountain Getaway - Villa
A magnificent historical home surrounded by fynbos, overlooking False Bay with stunning sea views and an imposing mountain backdrop. The villa is located in a nature conservancy.

Fully equipped open plan kitchen, exquisite bedrooms and awesome decks.

Peace and Quiet Stone Cottages
Rust en Vrede means rest and peace in Afrikaans which describes the experience of staying in these these two stone cottages. They are 20m apart and are ONLY offered as a pair, and have exclusive use of a rock pool. Each cottage has two 3/4 beds, bathroom, kitchenette and patio. The pair of cottages accommodate a MAX of 4 people in TOTAL in a private setting, with expansive views. These new cottages are in the same format as the other four on the farm which have received hundreds of 5* reviews.

Nature's Dome
Escape to nature in a unique way with our secluded, forest getaway. Nestled in the heart of an indigenous forest in the Garden Route, our dome offers a perfect blend of luxury and wilderness. Our Dome is beautifully designed for comfort, with the indulgent outdoor living space blending seamlessly with nature encouraging guests to reconnect, relax and rejuvenate. As much as we would love to welcome all, the setting isn't child friendly and definitely offers a more wonderful getaway for two.

The downstairs double bedrooms share a bathroom and the front bedroom has beautiful sea views. While the downstairs deck is great for sundowners. Situated 45 minutes from Cape Town’s city centre.

EcoTreehouse luxury off-grid cabin
Tucked into the lush Hermitage Valley just outside Swellendam, the EcoTreehouse is a peaceful off-grid cabin designed for comfort, simplicity, and connection to nature. It’s perfect for couples, solo travellers, or small families wanting to unplug without compromising on comfort. Wake to mountain views, fall asleep to frog-song, and soak under the stars in your private wood-fired hot tub. Swim, stargaze, wander the trails, or meet the horses — this land invites you to slow down.

Heidi's Barn, Franschhoek
Situated on a small holding 5km outside Franschhoek, opposite the exquisite La Motte Wine Estate, Heidi’s Barn offers the perfect self-catering base from which to explore the Winelands. A fire pit, outdoor dining area and a large swimming pool (shared with one other cottage) are perfect for summertime relaxation while an indoor wood-burning fireplace and wooden floors throughout make for a cosy winter escape. The barn runs on mains power with solar back up for load shedding.
