The Bed in the Shed! Luxury barn loft.

The bed in the shed is a gorgeous loft with a panoramic view down the Banhoek valley. It is situated on Camissa Farm an exquisite 60 hectare farm only 10 minutes from the heart of Stellenbosch. The apartment has a private open area with braai facilities and enjoys access to the hiking, biking and wild swimming opportunities in the dams on the farm. The bed in the shed is a two storey loft on the corner of our farm shed. It has a spacious sloped ceiling bedroom with amazing views and a bathroom with a toilet and shower connected to the bedroom. Downstairs there is a kitchen/dining/ lounging area with a smart tv. You will need a car to get into town from the farm. It is a short drive, 10 mins into town and parking is readily available both on the street and undercover during the day. Uber is not always reliable in our area, however if you do take one please do not give out the security codes to access the farm. Meet the taxi at the bottom gate and leave your own car on the parking bay just inside the gate. Guests have freedom to roam over the whole of this 60 hectare farm and are welcome to swim in the dams. There is a jetty on the edge of the lake to allow you to sunbathe and swim. I love to meet our guests and I am always happy to chat and give suggestions and recommendations. I would ask that if you have special requests that you ask before the end of the farm day at 5 pm. I find (Hidden by Airbnb) to be the easiest and quickest form of communication. This valley is renowned for its incredible natural beauty and wide network of hiking and biking trails. Some of the region’s finest wine estates are within walking distance of the cottage. We are a 10 minute drive from Stellenbosch, a beautiful and vibrant university town with a strong food and wine culture. It has many beautiful streets and leafy courtyards to explore and wonderful hiking in the mountains. I have created a guidebook to help visitors make the most of their stay. Our farm is part of the Banhoek Conservancy and is a great place for bird watching and for animal lovers of all ages. overlooking the town. I recommend a car to get around although Uber is also reachable from the farm. Please meet the Uber at the gate with your own car and park inside the gate. The shed in which the apartment is situated is used for drying herbs and houses my soap studio. There is movement around the vicinity from early morning but not in the direct area of the apartment. Judicious planting and landscaping ensures that your privacy will not be intruded upon even though you are at the heart of a small farm. On arrival guests have a welcome pack including a bottle of our own wine (tee totallers are welcome to request juice instead) tea, coffee, milk and some wood and toilet paper to get you started. Thereafter I expect guests to replenish their supplies from the shop as everyone’s needs and preferences are different. I feel that this is part of the nature of a self catering establishment and allows us to keep our prices competitive.
