Rooms & Facilities
1 Bedroom
You won’t find a cabin closer to Cape Town that feels this remote! Perched up high on the slopes of a wheat and canola farm near Malmesbury, this off-grid escape is made for recharging and the perfect spot for your next romantic getaway.
Expect all the essentials: a wood-fired hot tub, a dreamy cargo net, and views that’ll stop you in your tracks and have you feeling like you’ve just landed in Bali! With over 130 bird species and regular antelope sightings, it’s the kind of place where nature does the hosting.
What we loved
The moment you step into the cabin, you’re greeted by sweeping valley views. It honestly felt like we were back in Bali, gazing out over rice fields, and the cargo nets are the perfect spot to take it all in.
We also loved all the thoughtful touches, from the farm-fresh bread with butter and jam, to the homemade rusks, and an honesty bar stocked with lots of goodies. The olives are some of the best we’ve ever tasted!

The bedroom opens out onto the deck and boasts stunning valley views, along with a comfy window nook, perfect for curling up with a book and a coffee. The king-sized bed features luxurious linen and extra blankets for winter, while an aircon keeps things cool on hot summer nights. There’s also a cupboard for storage.
