Middelpunt Branch: Pepper Cottage

Spaced far apart on a family fruit-and-vegetable farm surrounded by the Langeberg Mountains, two solar-powered cottages – the one-bedroom Salt Cottage and the two-bedroom Pepper Cottage – take in the picturesque views, fresh air and utter tranquillity. The interiors are simply, subtly luxurious and streamlined, with nothing superfluous or distracting. The “art” on the walls comes from windows framing natural landscapes. The daily rituals of rural relaxation can be enjoyed at dining tables indoors and out, beside the braai fire, from your morning shower and the perfectly positioned hot tub.

Good to know
Pepper Cottage is child-friendly, while small dogs are welcome at both cottages. There is a minimum two-night stay.
