Retreat Guest Farm: Langberg Cottage

Surrounded by fruit and almond orchards and peppered with pristine hiking and mountain-biking trails, Retreat Guest Farm is an idyllic mountain-top escape that’s home to three private, self-catering cottages. They sleep four (Langberg Cottage), six (Somerlus Cottage) or eight guests (The Main House) and are fully equipped with private patios, cosy indoor fireplaces, sparkling pools and all the finest finishing touches (including JBL speakers and Nespresso machines). Langberg Cottage is cosy and comfortable, with two bedrooms, a shared bathroom, an outdoor braai area and a swimming pool.

Good to know
All three cottages are pet-friendly (limited to two pets, at R200 per pet) and offer easy access to a swimmable dam.
