Schoongezicht Summer Country House

Schoongezicht Summer Country House is situated in the picturesque valley of Dal Josaphat, on the outskirts of Paarl, in the Cape Winelands.

The farm Schoongezicht is an age-old farm, given to a French settler (one of the French Huguenots, fleeing from France for their Protestant religion) in 1692. In Dal Josaphat, many Cape Dutch houses can be found on the farms around us. The main products in this neighbourhood are wine grapes (and wine!), olives (and olive oil) and guavas. 6 km to the North-East, is Wellington, with Paarl, also 6 km to the South-West. The quaint and most popular towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek are 35 to 40 km away, with Cape Town and the airport, 60 - 65km away. Many good and award-winning restaurants and wine tasting and -buying facilities are in these towns. Other activities, besides eating and drinking, include hiking in the mountains, horse riding, mountain bike riding (excellent trails close by), fishing, bird watching, etc, etc.

The closest sea and beaches are 16 km beyond Stellenbosch. If you love heritage, then Paarl and Wellington are the towns for you, with lots of history and many museums.
The double-storey house has beautiful views of the mountains to the East and natural dams right there on site. It has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, two en-suite and one shared. There is a fully equipped kitchen with laundry amenities, a dining area and a lounge which opens onto the garden at the edge of the dam. Guests house cleaning is once a week, with braai facilities and parking on the premises.
