The village of Montagu is 8km away and is the second oldest preserved historical village in the Western Cape province. Historical self-guided walks and bicycle tours can be taken in the village and many hiking trails start there. Montagu is known as one of the most outstanding mountain climbing destinations in SA due to the quality and number of climbing routes available. There are also various mountain biking and trail running routes for those who prefer a more physical visit. The mineral and hot springs is 14 km away from our farm and popular during summer and winter. Many famous wine farms are situated in a 40 km radius and self drive visits to cellars and wine tasting are popular activities. Guided tours are available. The general atmosphere is rural and relaxed but vibrant at the various venues. No public transportation is available, unless guided wine tours are booked for wine tasting and pairing. As the farm is 8km away from the town of Montagu (about a 6 - 7-minute drive), a vehicle is generally required in order to access the town and it's shops and restaurants. All of our cottages offer very comfortable beds, quality linen, indoor fireplaces, well equipped kitchenettes, outdoor barbecue / braai areas as well as private spaces to relax and enjoy the quiet. Some cottages have wood-fired hot tubs.
