About Doornkraal Cottage

Self Catering Accommodation

Doornkraal Cottage is an Edwardian style cottage set in the gardens of the 1914 farmhouse and overlooks the farm and has views of the Swartberg- and Kammanassie Mountains. The cottage offers a main bedroom furnished with a 4-poster Queen-size bed and a second bedroom with two single beds. The rooms have en-suite bathrooms fitted with a shower, toilet and basin.

A small, separate kitchen, accessible from the second bedroom, is fully equipped with an electric oven, gas stove, bar fridge, tea and coffee facilities and cutlery and crockery. The kitchen opens to one of the braai areas and at the front of the cottage, next to the swimming pool, guests will find the second braai area. The cottage shares the use of a swimming pool with the main house.

Attractions

Doornkraal is conveniently located on the popular R62 route that stretches all the way from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth. It is only a 10-minute drive from our cottage to the nearest town of De Rust. Other nearby towns include Oudtshoorn, Prins Albert, Dysseldorp, Calitzdorp and Uniondale.

The cottage is within easy reach of the Meiringspoort Gorge, Swartberg Pass, Cango Caves, Prince Albert and the Ostrich Farms. De Rust is a closely-knit farming community and the small-town plays host to quaint shops and interesting characters. It lies between the Groot Swartberg Mountains and the Kammanassie Mountains.

Not only does the raw beauty of this area leave us and our visitors breathless but it also produces some of the most delicious wines, olive oil, home-baking, vegetables and fruit. And do not forget about one-of-a-kind artisanal crafts and artwork- all paying tribute to this veritable land of milk and honey, locally also known as Kannaland.
