1. Gnome Cottage, Clarens
If you want to holiday like a hobbit, look no further than Gnome Cottage in Clarens. The shape of the house is Instagram-worthy enough, but the list of nearby attractions – including horse-riding, spa treatments and game viewing promises a weekend to remember.
2. 29 Maxie Drive
You can’t get any closer to the water than 29 Maxie Drive. The property has its own jetty for boat lovers – and both an indoor and outdoor pool if you aren’t partial to the open waters. The space is equipped for families with a gaming table and tennis court, six bedrooms and three garages.
3. Kagga-Kamma Cave & Hut Suites
Kagga Kamma Bushman Lodge in the Cederberg offers guests an option between thatched rondavels or unusual Cave Suites built into the mountain. Or you could eschew four walls entirely and sleep in an usual outdoor setting – a luxurious bed and bathroom in the open veld. That’s right – there are no walls to spoil the Karoo views.
4. Osfontein Corbelled Guesthouse, Carnarvon
5. The Red Devil, Robertson
If you prefer to leave the driving up to someone else, you can hop on the Red Devil to catch a ride from Cape Town to Robertson. The package includes a Ceres Rail ticket, three nights accommodation at Gubas de Hoek and a bottle of Robertson wine to sweeten the deal.
