Sophea CottageRiebeek West, Western Cape, South Africa Self-catering (family units from R 1,020) | R 1,020 |
Sophea Cottage is part of a 100-year old barn that was lovingly restored. Tucked away in a huge, mature garden, guests have their own entrance from the street, as well as a private outdoor sitting area.
The cottage has been furnished and decorated with sensitivity to its grand old age, and antique pieces are complemented by original art and understated finishes. This is a place to unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of a time gone by, when life happened at a slower pace.
The restful bedroom features a queen-size bed with crisp linen and an antique cupboard and a mattress on the floor in the lounge can be provided for two children, if required. The bathroom has a huge old Victorian bath. A two-plate stove and bar fridge provide the means to prepare your own meals, should you prefer not to go out at one of the Riebeek Valley's many excellent restaurants.
Relax outdoors in the wonderfully wild garden with rural views of a windmill and orchard, with magnificent Kasteelberg in the background, using the four-seater table and barbecue facility.
