Spookfontein Self-catering Cottages

Despre cazare

In the renowned Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, nestled between the Babilonstoring and Kleinrivier Mountains, rest Spookfontein Self-catering Cottages. This 313-hectare farm offers aficionados a delectable variety of robust wines, delicious lunches and comfortable, charming self-catering cottages - 15 km from central Hermanus. \n \n Blue Crane Cottage is a real charmer with its high reed ceilings, large stone fireplace and magnificent views. Nestled between vineyards and mountains, visitors can relax with simple country décor, a well-stocked practical kitchen and two bathrooms. All rooms spill onto the patio via French Doors, allowing a soft breeze and vistas from every corner. \n Sunbird Cottage offers visitors a spacious covered patio, offering front-row seats to the majestic Hemel-en-Aarde Valley views. In true country fashion, guests can enjoy a built-in braai/BBQ around the back, or entertain and unwind on the front patio, which leads to the living areas and bedrooms. Restrained décor and fuss-free furniture make this cottage family-friendly, with a wood fireplace to cosy up the cooler months, and a large fridge for stocking up comfortably. \n \n Perched up in the hills of the Hemel-en-Aarde valley, overlooking a series of towering Cape-fold mountains, fynbos-clad hills and manicured vines, lies Spookfontein Restaurant , a culinary destination beckoning both food & wine fans. Wine lovers can sit in the restaurant overlooking breathtaking scenery, or book tastings at our wine-tasting lounge and shop for a more interactive experience with our staff. \n \n The name ‘Spook’ (Dutch for ‘ghost’) derives from the legend that one can discern a “spirit” within the swirls of our flowing farm spring. Perhaps it was this mystical allure that called the owners to this farmland two decades ago. Or perhaps it was the sheer beauty of its views and promise of award-winning wines. \n \n Our water comes from a natural spring on the farm. Please be aware that the water colour does vary from season to season due to the natural minerals in the water. \n Spookfontein Self-catering Cottages are also situated 18 km from Hermanus Golf Club, 22 km from the Blue Flag Grotto Beach, and Cape Town International Airport is 74 km away.
