Guest access

There are two cottages situated on the same property, both reached via a shared entrance gate and driveway. Guests have access to free covered parking on the premises. Each cottage is entirely private with its own designated living areas, although the main entrance is shared on arrival and departure. Your cottage and outdoor spaces are reserved solely for your use, and the layout has been designed to maintain privacy throughout your stay.

Location & Attractions

Art galleries and antique shops offer relaxed browsing opportunities, while cafés, pubs, restaurants, and the local cheese farm provide a variety of tempting culinary experiences. The surrounding mountains, fynbos, river, and nearby coastline support a rich diversity of birdlife that will appeal to nature enthusiasts.

Hikers and mountain bikers can explore coastal paths or mountain trails, or enjoy a gentle stroll along the village Wandelpad. Paddlers can retreat into the quiet stillness of the river. Slow the pace, take a breath, and allow Stanford to work its quiet magic.
