The place was so beautiful. The pictures don't even do it justice. The place is very well equipped, you can tell the host thought of everything in terms of what guests would need. They even had a heater for us to use and plenty of blankets for us...

This was probably one of the most equipped kitchens we have seen in a long time and the cutlery and crockery is amazing. The decor is beautiful for an old house like this. It really is a beautiful place for a weekend getaway.

This unique house has a style all its own, beautifully restored classic Cape Dutch home built in 1795. Known as “The Firemaster House" it is a Heritage house on historic Church Street in Tulbagh.

Will be completed during December There is an electricity fee for heating the jacuzzi, please let us know at least two days before arrival if the jacuzzi is to be heated.
We came to Tulbaght in 2021 and fell in love with this historic town. The same year did we buy Firemasters House. Together with a local architecht we made plans for the update of the house. During the end of 2022 we started the careful renovation. We wanted to secure this heritage to the future and give it a modern update and facilities, in order to make it a home. I live in Sweden and try to spend as much time as possible in South Africa. Our co-host, Louise, is available during your stay to help you.
Historical and heritage protected Church Street is a beautiful street with surrounded with trees and gardens. Close to restaurants and shops in the wineland surrounded by mountains. Tulbagh is less than 1,5 hour from Cape Town. Has parking, as well as free street parking. Car when you go to the vineyards, walkability in town.
