A cottage for two on the edge of a farm dam, with a loft for the kids.
Four self catering cottages, by the dams and up on the slopes, and a campsite by the river. Every cottage has a fireplace, a braai and a stoep.


A cottage for two on the edge of a farm dam, with a loft for the kids.

A timber house between two dams, big enough for one large family or two small ones.

The old homestead, a thousand metres up, with the Koo on one side and the Keisie on the other.

A stone family house with both valleys in the window and the hiking trails at the door.
A campsite by the river, under the poplars.
Oom Niel Burger designed and built Populierbos himself, at the age of 80. It’s the simplest way to sleep on the farm: a tent, the river and a lot of stars.

Waterblommetjie reminds of a cabin on a postcard.

I have been coming here since I was 2 years old. 20 years later it is still an absolutely wonderful place to visit.

Definitely one of our highlights in South Africa. If you are anywhere near Montagu, this is a must do.

The tractor ride up the mountain is something you won’t get anywhere else.

A 50% deposit secures the cottage. The rest is due 30 days before you arrive.
Easter, long weekends, mid December to mid January and the July school holidays.
The deposit isn’t refundable. If we let the cottage to someone else, you usually get 90% back.
One night midweek is R100 extra. Weekends are Friday and Saturday together.

Arrive the night before, ride up in the morning, eat potjie at lunch and sleep over again. You can ask for all of it in one booking.
