Fairfield Cottages, Ceres
Between the foothills of the Skurweberg mountains near Ceres lies Fairfield Cottages – a country retreat where four-legged best friends are welcomed as warmly as adventurous outdoor-loving travellers. Each cottage offers cosy fireplaces that invite guests to curl up during chilly mountain evenings, while sunny verandas create the perfect setting for morning coffee accompanied by birdsong and wagging tails. The cottages are spacious enough for both humans and pets to relax comfortably.
Unlike many accommodation establishments that merely tolerate pets, Fairfield Cottages genuinely embraces them. Water bowls, open spaces and a relaxed atmosphere create an environment where dogs are treated as part of the family rather than an afterthought.
Whale Huys, De Kelders
Just two hours from Cape Town lies the Whale Huys, with panoramic views of Walker Bay and the Klein Rivier Mountains. With its stunning scenery and the abounding sounds of nature, Whale Huys seems far removed from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, but it’ s also close to the wineries and renowned country restaurants the area is famous for.
Hillandale Farm, Plettenberg Bay
Modern and completely offgrid, Hillandale Farm offers three accommodation options, each with total privacy and spectacular forest and mountain views. Choose The House, which sleeps up to seven guests; The Hideaway, perfect for four; or The Huddle, a cosy escape for two.
For two- and four-legged bird lovers, the farm is a haven of birdlife, tranquillity, and beautiful walks. You’ ll feel blissfully secluded, yet you’ re only five minutes from stunning beaches. With so much to enjoy, you may find yourself planning a second stay before you leave!
