Surrounded by high mountains at the end of a country road, we offer a variety
of self-catering accommodation in several cottages, a large farmhouse and 2
exclusive units sleeping up to 46 guests in total. Our reserve comprises 2000ha
of spectacular mountain fynbos with wooded streams & farm dams for swimming &
fishing, mountain bike trails, hiking trails for outdoor enthusiasts and an
abundance of bird life and indigenous fauna & flora. We invite you to escape the
hustle & bustle and come explore our hidden valleys with friends & family.
We are well situated to enjoy the spoils of the Robertson Wine Valley and are
only 1.5 hours scenic drive from Cape Town. Explore our 'World in One Valley'
and discover the many wonders our corner of the Cape has to offer. The nature
reserve forms part of the Klaasvoogds West foothills in the Langeberg Mountains,
15km between the towns of Robertson & Ashton.
Our rustic banquet hall & lush meadows are a perfect venue for your next
