Retreat Guest Farm: The Main House

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). The Main House is surrounded by trees and apple orchards, boasting four ensuite bedrooms, a large indoor braai area and a private swimming pool.
