We love winter getaways. Nothing beats high-tailing it out of the city to escape the cold with your windscreen wipers frantically trying to whip away the rain as you turn your air con on full heat. And when your holiday comes with a crackling fireplace, fluffy blankets, and steaming mugs of hot cocoa, there’s really no reason to hide out at home. We’ve rounded up 25 holiday homes with cosy indoor fireplaces for you to ride out the winter cold in the Western Cape.
