While the Breede River may not lap right up against your log cabin on this working farm, it’s close enough to still hear it in the still of the night and makes for a fun weekend of canoeing (canoes and oars provided), splashing and swimming.

Or just gaze out over it from your deck in the morning with a cup of coffee in hand. All three cabins (aptly named Shiraz, Chardonnay and Merlot) are similar in setting and whilst simple, you’ll find everything you need. Each has two double bedrooms with two single beds in the lounge, making them perfect for families. While the kitchenette is well equipped, the countryside is best enjoyed outdoors; the stone braai (first bag of wood supplied) begs for evenings around a fire.

Eating out is also an option with Bonnievale just a short drive away, but I suggest stocking up with plenty of wine and cheese from the farms in the area and have your cheese and wine evening under the stars or indoors around the fire.
