South Africans have fallen out of love with the hustle and bustle of the big city. One only needs to take a peek at the latest statistics to see that thousands of hard-working South Africans are leaving the metropolitan areas for a lifestyle that’s slower and filled with country air.
It’s no surprise then that this growing trend extends to getaways as Capetonians hang up their “city hats” for the weekend and escape to the majestic foothills of some incredible places in the Western Cape.
An easy two hour drive from the Mother City you’ll find one such spot… Montagu, an idyllic little town nestled in the Little Karoo with the splendour of the Langeberg Mountains as its surroundings and nature as its main attraction.
And while there are a range of magnificent accommodations to choose from, if a farm stay is on your bucket list, nothing will tick all your boxes quite like Klein Nektar.
Ther are a few accommodation options to choose from when staying on this working olive and wine farm, including a luxury manor house, however, it’s their off-the-grid farm cottage that will steal your heart.
Along with spectacular views of the mountain and olive groves, guests are treated to a comfortable stay with all the comfy amenities that you would expect from a home-away-from-home.
This two-bedroom cottage will tug at your heartstrings thanks to its country-style charm. All amenities are solar-powered – perfect for those looking to do a little more for the environment.
Enjoy the enchanting sounds of Mother Nature as you take it easy in the wood-fired hot tub available for your convenience or spend the afternoon admiring your surroundings as you enjoy a lekker braai thanks to the outdoor braai area.
While Klein Nektar is only a few minutes’ walk from various shops and restaurants, you’ll still feel as though you’ve been transported to the middle of nowhere – heaven for anyone in search of tranquillity.
A fully-equipped kitchen, wrap-around terrace, and little to no electronics available on the premises will round off an incredible stay. Who needs a 12-bedroom mansion in Llandudno when you can enjoy a luxurious farm stay?
