This place is a hidden gem. It has absolutely everything we look for when neading a break, Jacuzzi, beautiful bathroom, fireplace, outside braai, view of the vineyards from your bed and a lovely secluded deck onto the dam. You can relax here whilst enjoying complete privacy. Tha farm also offers lovely walks through the vinyards and a beautiful restaurant In the art gallery with divine food! Sandy and Kevin really goes out their way to make you feel welcome and has added alot of extra special touches to make the cottage and everything else that bit more special.
