Our apartments are tucked in a quiet and safe valley on a Rooibos tea estate in the midst of the wealth of the Cederberg plant life and renowned wild flower displays from late winter to early summer. It is the ideal setting to simply relax and enjoy. However, for the slightly more energetic, free range hiking on the estate is absolutely safe and will present ever changing vistas of mountains and rolling hills. The birdlife is quite prolific - from the Black Eagle with its wing span in excess of two metres to the Fairy Flycatcher. The natural Fynbos is only broken by fascinating rock formations. Each of the two apartments consists of a fairly spacious lounge and dining room with a kitchenette; a bedroom and a bathroom. Both can sleep four people if they are comfortable sharing a bathroom. They are truly accessible for physically handicapped people. Each apartment has a veranda with a deck as well as a brei area.
