“Dan & Khosie’s house is just like coming home.....so welcoming, charming and comfortable. Easy communication with Dan. The photos do not do their home justice! Everything was perfect with a lovely stoep (terrace) to sit on with a glass of wine in hand absorbing the magnificent view. The house itself oozes character and is a heritage building. A beautiful garden and bird life complete the picture. Robertson itself is a charming small town with many more heritage houses and on the Breede River. Visiting Van Loveren vineyard was wonderful walking amongst the many trees that were planted to commentate special events. Just like a mini jungle! Food was very good. A boat trip along the Breede River can be taken from Viljoensdrift vineyard. McGregor village is close by and worth a visit with its many artisan workshops. There’s also a game reserve nearby. Lots to do and well worth a weeks stay!”

About our home
Set in stunning countryside surrounded by vineyards, mountains and rivers, our home is ideal for families, small groups & couples. This delightful, recently renovated historical home is in a truly beautiful village that boasts glorious views. You can enjoy many activities such as walking, horse riding, mountain biking, wild swimming, bird watching, boat trips, game drives, wine tasting not to mention the fantastic food. The farmhouse is ideal for nature lovers especially taking in the wonderful view from the stoep (terrace) with a glass of local wine in hand!
There is a barbecue, wood burner inside for cooler winter evenings, beautifully planted garden. Swimming in the ‘natural’ pool with its resident malachite kingfisher is very refreshing on a hot summers evening.
The village and the area hosts some of South Africa's most prestigious vineyards and is ideal for wine tours & lunches. There are many festivals throughout the year. Our home is only a 5-minute drive from town of Robertson and has many good restaurants, shops and historical houses dating from 1812 along wide leafy streets. Hermanus can be visited in a day trip to see the many whales from June to November. Cape Agulhas, the southern most tip of Africa is doable in a day, where the Indian Ocean and the Benguela ocean meet.
We would prefer a minimum of five day swap.
