Nestled in a peaceful small-town setting just two minutes from the centre of town, this charming thatch-roof historic cottage, your own small house for the stay, dates back more than 180 years. Originally built to store horse-drawn carriages and accommodate staff, it now offers guests a unique blend of heritage character and country comfort. We invite you to enjoy its timeless charm and comfortable simplicity during your stay.

Pierre is an adventurer at heart and an avid rock-climber, while Liesl is a kind and loving “Mother Nature,” as people fondly call her. “A few years ago, we came to explore Bredasdorp as potential residents, partly as urban farmers tending our own small aquaponic farm, and partly to experience life ‘op die platteland’. We fell in love with the town and decided to stay for a while. We have since moved back to Cape Town for work-related reasons, and our lovely cottage is managed by a friendly young couple who stay on the property. We are sure that you will enjoy your stay in this special cottage.

Although just minutes from town, the cottage feels like a peaceful retreat, with local shops, take-away options, and the Bredasdorp Nursery right across the street. The Overberg region is full of rolling hills, charming villages, and natural beauty. Struisbaai is 30 minutes away, Agulhas 35 minutes, and Arniston just 15 minutes. Nature lovers can explore the National De Hoop Nature Reserve 45 minutes away or the nearby Heuningberg, two minutes from the cottage, with trails through the region’s unique fynbos. Just 26 km south-east of Bredasdorp, between Arniston and Struisbaai, the De Mond Nature Reserve is a World Heritage Site and a haven for birdwatchers and hikers. In town, visit the Shipwreck Museum, Kapula Candles, or taste honey on tap from Southern Honey. The region’s cool-climate wine farms produce well-balanced, complex wines, perfect for a leisurely tasting. Every corner of the Overberg invites you to explore, relax, and soak in its charm.
