Description

Overlooking the Albert Falls Dam towards the Karkloof hills, Guests need only to relax, unwind, and be themselves. This farm stay offers a down to earth environment with comfort and convenience.

The View is a 2 bedroom garden-cottage set next to the main residence. Each en-suite bedroom has an entrance from the veranda, as well as several outdoor sitting areas to choose between. Room 2 has a mini lounge with outside access as well as direct access via the Jack & Jill bathroom, and for children, the two beds in the lounge creates a lovely family unit. The rooms all have a fan, mosquito gadget, beverage station and fresh water, plus gorgeous blankets for cool nights. We provide all linen, bath and swimming towels, and shower soap. We cater for our Baby Guests too since they also deserve the full treatment incl a comfy travel cot with mosquito net.

Guests at The View have 24/7 access to Wi-Fi and the indoor entertainment area with a dartboard, full-size snooker table, small library and lounge area with DStv. Being self catering, we've provided a fully kitted kitchen with two fridge-freezers, gas stove/oven, microwave, toaster, crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils, Nespresso and filter coffee machines (pls bring your own pods/coffee grounds) smoothie maker and Soda Stream (excl syrup). Guests can choose between a mobile Weber for outdoor braaing, or the built-in wood and gas braais in the undercover patio, which also sports a TV - a perfect spot in all weather. Pack a swimming costume and enjoy a day or sundowner around the pool, or simply sit and soak up the morning sun or nighttime peace wherever you choose.

Feel free to walk the farm and view a variety of animals, insects, birds, bats, swallows, and barn owls, all of which frequently visit, nest or roost near our home. Cast a line into our private little dam and who knows what you'll catch.

Boat and car parking is available
We live off-grid ie use only solar power, gas and borehole water
The View is best suited to Guests who are dog friendly!
