Stay Here!!! The hosts made this stay, but the grounds and cabin were spectacular, as was the location.
The cabin is as comfortable, rustic chic, and cozy as it looks, but has even more natural light with multiple large windows comprising the majority of all the walls ....this thing is amazing, I would love to have such a place.
We hit a ton of wineries (Spier, Waterford, etc.), but our favorite was Vergelegen which we only visited on a recommendation of the hosts. It was a short drive, and full of 300 yo trees (Camphors, yellowwood, common oak, eucalyptus, etc.), the gardens were immaculate and expansive and the wine matched. Also right near Loursensford which has a wonderful set up with permanent food trucks and love music, but also modern art, statue gardens etc. anyways, a great location.
Back to the grounds, right in front of the cabin is the pool which was SO refreshing on the three 90 degree plus days we had, and then just beautiful lawns, a loving lovely dog Chicko, fruit trees, exotic birds.....for a couple of yanks this was a real treat.
Then the cous de gras, the hosts themselves. Bonnie, David, and their daughter Katie who was visiting, made us feel comfortable (their house shares the pool and grounds). They were experienced, thoughtful, compassionate, intelligent travellers who truly welcomed us, we shared a meal, just salt of the earth folks who made us feel totally at ease during our stay.
Anyways, like I said, and if you're still reading, Stay Here
