Magnifik House

An elegant outdoor oasis in the centre of town, this bijou self-catering villa is nestled on a small pecan, olive, fig and fruit farm, surrounded by orchards and the majestic Langeberg Mountains. Think luxury country living, with generous entertaining spaces (both indoors and out), balanced by peaceful private areas. The two bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house, opening onto a wide verandah and an outdoor-shower courtyard. There’s also a lapa with a firepit, braai and pizza oven, a sparkling saltwater pool and a sun-drenched garden (children of eight years and older are welcome).
