A luxurious hideaway
Sunbird Cabin
Number of guests
Rooms & Facilities
1 Bedroom
Surrounded by canola fields, rolling mountain ranges, ostriches and abundant birdlife, this eco-friendly cabin is the perfect stay, especially if you’re heading up the Garden Route to Knysna, Plettenberg Bay etc.
Located just outside of Heidelberg (3 hours from Cape Town), Sunbird blends seamlessly into the natural landscape, offering a secluded and private escape for two with breathtaking views from every angle. Here, you can disconnect completely from the urban grind and reconnect with nature.
Features
You’ll find all the outdoor amenities you could wish for — a wood-fired hot tub, cargo nets, fire pit, braai and even an outdoor shower. The modern and stylish interiors provide everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay, including the trendiest hot water bottles! The cabin is also fully off-grid so you can relax knowing that load shedding won’t interrupt your vibe.
The Space
Kitchenette
The kitchenette is fully equipped with an oven, gas stove and fridge-freezer. Coffee, tea, sugar, rusks, olive oil, basic spices, and salt & pepper are provided.
Living/Dining
There is a small dining table, beautiful leather couch as well as an indoor fireplace and TV with movies already loaded. The living space opens out onto a spacious deck with an outdoor lounge area and built in braai. Books and board games are also provided.
Bedroom
The bedroom has large windows to enjoy the stunning mountain views from bed. The queen sized bed comes with quality linen, dressing gowns and some really fun hot water bottles for winter!
Bathroom
The bath and shower are located in the bedroom, with the toilet just off the lounge area for privacy. The bath is located close to the window so you can soak in the views quite literally! And there’s an outdoor shower too if you prefer being even closer to nature.
Amenities
Our Top Tips
- Pack your hiking shoes and mountain bike as you can explore the whole farm
- Bring your binoculars as there is so much birdlife. There are also antelope, caracals and ostriches on the farm
- You’ll want to grab your groceries beforehand, as once you arrive, you won’t want to leave! (there is a very decent FreshStop just off the highway and a Spar a little bit further into Heidelberg, otherwise Swellendam or Riversdale are good options for the basics)
- If you book a weekend stay you’ll get to enjoy a late Sunday checkout – perfect for one last slow morning
