Our accommodation consists of five self-catering chalets surrounded by pristine fynbos. The nature reserve is 10 minutes past Stanford in the Western Cape of South Africa on the lower slopes of the Klein River Mountains (around 30 minutes from Hermanus). Each chalet has wonderful views across the Overberg towards Gansbaai and Akkedisberg.

Our self-catering chalets are spacious, comfortable, and afford spectacular views all around. Each chalet has a similar design, with a large open-plan living area, with comfy sofas looking up at Phillipskop, dining area with large 8-seater table, and a roomy kitchen. A log-burning stove will keep you cosy in the winter. The kitchen is fitted with everything you need for self-catering accommodation. There is a gas stove so that cooking can continue even if there is a powercut, and includes a large fridge with good-sized freezer compartment; there is also a toaster, microwave, and all basic utensils.
The accommodation units are all three-bedroomed and can sleep up to 7 people. The master bedroom has an en-suite and views up towards Phillipskop (with a separate single bed so that alternatively two single people can share the room). The valley-side bedroom has two single beds, while the other mountain-side bedroom has three single beds. Single beds have been chosen so that couples who want to be close to one another can push them together. The single bedrooms share a bathroom, which includes a bath and a separate shower cubicle. There is also an upstairs area, a versatile space to be used as desired.
On the valley side of the chalet is a wooden deck, with wonderful views towards the Akkedisberg and across the Overberg in the direction of Gansbaai. On the mountain side, we have provided a dedicated braai area looking up towards Phillipskop and a small garden. Each chalet is surrounded by beautiful natural vegetation that attracts a good variety of birdlife, and during your stay, you are free to explore the reserve. For those who would like to discover more with an expert, we also offer guided walks. Overnight guests also have exclusive use of our natural swimming pool below the chalets.
Although essentially the same in design, the individual self-catering chalets are featured below in separate galleries. There is also a aerial map to show the relative position of each chalet. Just click on the accommodation of your choice for more images. From March 2024, we have installed solar power with battery backup, so the chalets are no longer affected by Eskom load-shedding or other powercuts.
