Charming cottage in the Hemel & Aarde Wine Valley

De Werf is in the Hemel en Aarde Valley - literally "Heaven on Earth". It sleeps 6 - large en suite bedroom (king bed or 2 singles) upstairs + a smaller bedroom downstairs (1 outside bedroom en suite on request). Fully equipped kitchen - dishwasher + gas hob opens onto the dining/lounge. Guests relax on the long shady patio with stunning views across the ponds to the mountains. A small private swimming pool is perfect for late drinks as the sun sets over the mountains. A birdwatchers paradise. De Werf is in the heart of a special wine growing region with many wine farms and restaurants close by. The whale watching town of Hermanus is only short 20 minute drive - as are many shops and other conveniences. The area is a mountain bikers paradise and is also special for walking along the mountain slopes. The entire cottage, patio, outdoor barbecue and private plunge pool. There is also a wonderful hot water shower outside. The cottage is on an area of river wetlands with beautiful walks on the property along the pods and the upper reaches of the Onrus River. The 2 main dams are perfectly swimmable, one with reeds the other has been cleared. I am always available via email and mobile or (Hidden by Airbnb) Surrounded by wine farms and restaurants, mountain bike trails and walking routes You would need your own car to properly explore the area, but there is a wine hopper bus which takes you to all the wine farms should you choose not to drive, but this must be picked up in Hermanus We have a closed combustion fire place in the lounge - easy to use but instructions in guest manual. There are also “wind blinds”, simply select the required panel, remove the pin and lower the panel, replace the pin to hold in place. There are also external security beams for when you have gone to bed, again instructions are in the house. To enjoy the birds, please feel free to top up the feeders with seed and "pink juice" (in the fridge). Open the double lounge doors (and security door) to maximize the inside/outside flow. We have security doors on the front and back doors.
