Tulbagh

Bergsicht Country Farm Cottages

Located on a fruit farm outside Tulbagh, boasting breathtaking views on the surrounding Winterhoek and Witzenberg Mountains, 4 of the 5 cottages on the farm have wood-fired hot tubs, while the fifth has a splash pool. We suggest booking a stay in Angekino or Lady in Red for romantic getaways, while the rest is more suited for a small family.

Uitsig Cottages

Ladismith

Uitsig Cottages

The owners of Uitsig Cottages love a good DIY challenge and, combined with the outstanding location on the farm, it was bound to be a success. They wanted to create a piece of heaven on earth and the hot tubs, braai facilities and unbelievable views of the valley and mountains around Ladismith deliver just that. When winter arrives you could be relaxing in that very hot tub with a cup of joe, watching the snow on the Swartberg Mountains.
