The two cottages form part of an extensive farm where citrus fruit, grapes, decidious fruit, Rooibos tea and vegetables are produced and livestock is kept.
The cottages are ideally situated for outdoor opportunities like mountain biking, hiking, farm tours, bird watching and fishing and swimming in farm dams.
Both cottages can serve as a base from where the area can be explored. The town of Clanwilliam and the wild flowers are a mere 50 km to the north, the Cederberg wilderness area approx. 50 km to the north east and the coast at Lambert's Bay 60 km to the north west.
The two cottages are 7 km apart on two different farms - Nuwedam and Paardekop. | | CLICK ON THE IMAGES BELOW FOR AN ENLARGED VIEW |  | Two comfortable bedrooms - main bedroom with double bed and second with two singles.
