The space The cottage is 12 km from town, 8 of which are on a dirt road. 4x4/high clearance definitely advisable as private access is via 7km of dirt road of sometimes vexing corrugations. The cottage is a short distance from the 200 year old Cape Dutch farmhouse and wagon house (currently being restored) and faces up a valley with a pool and bbq terrace overlooking the kloof. The cottage is a former farm labourer's cottage and has recently been renovated. Access to hiking and mountain biking trails directly from the cottage. Please note that it is a Karoo farm and can experience extremes of weather conditions. Nearby is a second, private cottage facing away from Wild Olive.

Other things to note Please note that there are around 7km of dirt road to access the cottage, much of which is on a main farm road artery however there are often corrugations so we strongly recommend guests have a high clearance vehicle. The grounds of the cottage are being worked on now with various succulents and hardy fruit trees being planted.
