Rooms & Facilities
1 Bedroom
This wooden A-frame cabin may be small but it really packs a punch and offers that authentic “cabin in the woods” experience. The forest views are absolutely stunning, but it’s the beautiful interiors, attention to detail and thoughtful touches that make the stay even more magical!
Perched high on the mountainside of La Bruyere Farm in Tulbagh and surrounded by pine trees, just 90 minutes from Cape Town, this cabin features a loft bedroom accessible by ladder that will transport you back to your childhood. The double outdoor baths are perfect for forest bathing and stargazing and don’t require monk-like patience to get the temperature just right.
Features
This uniquely designed A-frame cabin sleeps two and features large windows, perfect for soaking in those forest views. The downstairs area includes a fully equipped kitchenette, a cozy lounge and greenhouse style bathroom that makes you feel as though you’re showering in a forest, without the cold! Upstairs, the loft bedroom provides a snug retreat. The large outside deck comes with a gas braai, seating area and double outdoor baths so each person has their own space to relax and unwind.
The Space
Kitchenette
The kitchenette comes equipped with a gas hob with a Le Creuset whistling kettle, fridge/freezer, and a cute tea/coffee station featuring a French press and milk frother. Please note that there is no microwave or toaster. Tea, coffee, sugar, olive oil, ice, salt and pepper, and seasoning are provided.
Living/Dining
The cozy living room features a comfy sofa and a large window, perfect for birdwatching and soaking in the forest views. There’s also a chest filled with games and short books—ideal for finishing during your stay. The lounge overlooks a spacious deck equipped with a gas braai and an outdoor dining area.
Bedroom
A wooden ladder leads up to the lofted bedroom with a queen size bed and luxurious bedding. There are additional blankets and hot water bottles for winter.
Bathroom
The greenhouse style bathroom will make you feel as though you’re showering in a forest but without being cold. There is Biobodi (natural, vegan, cruelty free) shampoo and body wash, and a cute little emergency/makeup remover kit. The toilet is separate for privacy.
Amenities
Our Top Tips
- Pack your hiking shoes, mountain bikes and swimming costumes as there are plenty of trails to explore and a dam to take a refreshing dip in after
- Bring your fishing rod along as you can fish in the dam (catch and release)
- Don’t stress if you’ve forgotten something as it’s just a 10 minute drive into Tulbagh. There are also some really great coffee shops, restaurants and wine tasting spots to explore, we recommend Kole & Deeg for lunch/coffee or for working remotely, The Tulbagh Hotel for dinner & Montpellier, Saronsberg or Twee Jonge Gezellen for wine tasting

Things to note
- Tea, instant & ground coffee, sugar, olive oil, ice, salt and pepper, and seasoning are provided
- There is no WiFi at the cabin and the cell reception isn’t always great so make sure to book your leave in for a stress-free getaway
- The cabin relies on UPS batteries to run the lights, milk frother, phone chargers, etc. They supply two batteries per stay so please use power sparingly and don’t use a hairdryer etc.
- Try pack lightly as it’s a 2 minute walk with wooden steps leading down to the cabin so you don’t want to be making multiple trips to the car
