Matjiesvlei Guestfarm

The chalet, built in 1876, was beautiful and secluded. It felt like part of the community’s history; the restoration kept its original charm. The museum was very informative. The chimney in the indoor braai area didn’t work well and produced a lot of smoke inside the house.

The solitude in a secret valley steeped in history was a highlight.

“place where you can slow down”

We stayed at Douglas House, which was comfortable, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed—three bedrooms, a cosy living room, kitchen, bathroom, indoor and outdoor patios, and braai areas. The location is truly special: peaceful, remote, and surrounded by beautiful mountains, streams, old farms, and incredible scenery. There is nothing but the sounds of nature—birds, wind, the river, and farm animals. The hiking trails and views are wonderful. If you want to escape the construction noise, traffic, and busy life of Cape Town, Matjiesvlei is a real gem. It is the kind of place where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, let your body and mind rest, and simply recharge. The owners are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which makes the stay even more enjoyable. We also met lovely people, and our children enjoyed playing together while we shared a braai. It was such a warm and relaxed experience. We would happily come back—next time for much longer!

“Fantastic to go back in historic home with some modern touches ,hosts very good everything amazing”

The Cloete cottage we stayed in was very historic and had been refurbished very well; it was more than sufficient for the two of us to stay in. Very peaceful, plenty to enjoy. We didn’t enjoy our 7 days very much.
