Only 4 km off the N2 and completely private (situated 50km from Swellendam and 30km from Bonnievale, 50km from Bredasdorp and 80km from the most Southern point of Africa) the cottage is an ideal base from which to explore the Overberg Region of the Western Cape, South Africa.

Attractions & ActivitiesYou'll find yourself relaxing and restored amidst a tranquil and inspiring landscape, between fynbos, canola- and wheat lands. Sheep and cattle are your neighbours. Come and enjoy • Walking in the Dasberg-mountain and fynbos • Enjoyable mountain-bike rides and ungraveld roads • Swimming in the Riviersonderend river • Picnic in the 'veld' • Bird watching The cottage looks out onto the Riviersonderend Mountains and a trail leads from the front door into a rich fynbos reserve. Dasberg Mountain is home to the Cape Edelweiss (Lanaria lanata), rare fern species and the Protea lorea, whose blooms touch the soil and whose leaves look like grass. Its seclusion between mountain, fields and fynbos offers one a sense of splendid isolation. The silence that enfolds the cottage like a snug karos is broken only by the contented chewing of small Angus cattle and merinos that graze the yellow carpet of canola flowers in front of the house.
