Website: Fraaigelegen Farm
We went to this spot just after the first snowfall of the season, so it was mighty chilly. But our cottage was cosy - fireplace, heaters in the bedrooms, extra blankets etc. Oooh! Double shower! The farm has olives, grapes, friendly sheep and pigs, and is lovely to wander around. In front of the cottages there is a dam with a rowing boat. Two of the cottages are very close together, and while we weren't at all bothered by our neighbours, it would be more fun to have a larger group booking both cottages.
Price: R600 per cottage per night.
Accommodation: Two rooms, one with a double bed, and one with two singles.
Bathroom with DOUBLE SHOWER.
Kitchen with stove, kettle, toaster, fridge, microwave.
Outside braai.
Other accommodation: Three cottages and an annex. We didn't see the other cottage or the annex.
Owners: Dealt with the charming Christine Bond by email mostly, and then met her to get keys etc. They also sell award-winning olive oil and Broede Bond wine that we are too scared to taste.
Getting there: 130 km from Cape Town, off the R46.
Notes: Tulbagh is a lovely little town worth exploring. Twee Jonge Gezellen is definitely worth a visit for their awesome champagne, and for a brilliant spot to while away an afternoon.
