Set in three acres of paddocks and gardens, this wonderful estate is surrounded by stunning mountains and trees with the Disa River running through the extensive grounds.
This country estate offers accommodation in thatched cottages furnished with touches of Africa, high-beamed ceilings and serene views. As the emphasis is on relaxation, privacy and nature there are only three cottages and each one enjoys uninterrupted views of the mountains surrounding Hout Bay. There is a beautiful relaxing swimming pool area with spa loungers, placed in a peaceful garden with birds and trees.
Despite such a tranquil location, there is a shopping centre nearby as well as beaches, a harbour as well as the countryside which provides panoramic views. The entire property is non-smoking, creating a healthy atmosphere that perfectly reflects the natural environment in which it is situated.
Area informationHout Bay is essentially a suburb of Cape Town. It is a small working fishing village set in a beautiful valley, surrounded by mountains and forests on all sides, which feature a vast array of indigenous flora and fauna.
