KLAASVOOGDS COTTAGES & KLAASVOOGDS LOFT
We offer two self-catering cottages and a boutique four-bedroomed B&B, which can be rented out as a complete facility (4 bedrooms) or from one to 3 bedrooms.
KLAASVOOGDS COTTAGES (SELF- CATERING)
Klaasvoogds Opstal which sleeps four and Klaasvoogds Cottage which sleeps two to three offer charming, luxurious self-catering holiday accommodation and are well-equipped for long stays. Both cottages are minimally affected by load shedding. Klaasvoogds Opstal is gas and solar-powered and Klaasvoogds Cottage has a gas stove and an inverter.
KLAASVOOGDS LOFT (BOUTIQUE B&B)
Klaasvoogds Loft has four hotel type en-suite bedrooms leading off a central passage and sleeps eight. It is a boutique B&B with two queen-sized beds and four single beds. It is totally off the grid with solar power, gas/solar geysers and crystal-clear, piped and gravity-fed fountain water (tested and we think better than bottled water).
The self-catering cottages and the B&B lie in the beautiful Klaasvoogds Valley, at the foot of the Langeberg Mountains and have lovely views of vineyards, mountains and orchards. Klaasvoogds is centrally located in the Robertson wine valley on Route 62, within easy reach of many places of interest. The nearest towns are Robertson and the quaint, Klein Karoo town of Montagu, which has to be one of the prettiest towns in South Africa with its mix of vineyards, orchards and beautiful heritage buildings. And then there is a very charming village, McGregor, and further afield Swellendam which is the third oldest city in South Africa.
For those who are laid-back, enjoy lovely views of the vineyards and mountains from every window and on chilly nights settle in with a book or a glass of lovely, local wine in front of a roaring fire. In summer swim in the dam or the swimming pool and as the day cools relax on the porches and decks and watch the fiery sunset give way to a night sky sparkling with stars. Eat gorgeous food at SA’s finest restaurants, Kapokbos, the 5 star Grand Hotel and many others, some within walking distance.
Taste wines at the more than 50 wine estates, sample olives at Marbrin Farm and Owls Rest or locally made cheese at La Mont, home of Royal Ashton cheese. Shop for lavender distilled products at nearby lavender farm, Owls Rest. Explore nature reserves. Fish in our farm dam or the nearby Breede River or try to spot some of the 250 species of birds. And for the wildly energetic climb mountains, run or cycle along picturesque country roads or exhaust yourselves with all the activities listed on local websites, www.robertsonwinevalleycom and our own four page activities list.
