Rosemary Cottage
Rates from R3000 per night
Rosemary Cottage, decorated in blues like its aromatic flowers, is set right next to the dam with views over the Simonsberg and Drakenzicht mountains. It has a private wood-fired hot tub with views over the water and the valley. Like all our cabins, Rosemary has a wood-burning stove and an aircon inverter for warm or cool weather. It also has a sleeping pod for an extra guest or two small children which can be made up for a small extra fee.
Things to do
Guests can enjoy scenic hikes, wild swimming, mountain biking and a leisurely stroll to breakfast or a sunset wine tasting. The cabin has an expansive deck with wooden armchairs and hanging reading chairs for you to relax in. There is a beautifully landscaped dry stone walled braai area and a wood-fired hot tub to soak in while you enjoy the majestic natural surroundings.
Dine Locally
Some of South Africa’s finest restaurants are found in Stellenbosch, a few minutes drive from the farm. Closer to home, the Bartinney tasting shed is an easy 1.5 km stroll along the contour path for charcuterie and some of the Cape finest wines. Café pavé does a wonderful easy-going breakfast.
Drink locally
Sample award-winning local wines at Bartinney, Camberley and Oldenberg wine estates, each only a short walk through the beautiful Banhoek valley.
