Just two hours out of Cape Town, the lodge is situated on the scenic Route 62 between Montagu and Barrydale, 3km's from the village of Montagu.
In 1865, the farm was the home of a French Huguenot. Today, olive trees and aromatic lavender bushes have replaced the burnt vineyards and apricot trees.
Cottages:
The five luxury cottages are separated into ten spacious en-suite guest rooms. Each has their own fireplace, a bathroom with heated floors, a Victorian bathtub as well as an outside shower. The ceilings are open reed and lie under thatched roofing. From the veranda or shower, guests have a spectacular view of the Karoo Koppies, Waboomberg Mountains and four hectares of olive orchards.
A honeymoon suite with a four-posted double bed is also available.
