The Olive Woodpecker

There’s something magical about McGregor – a quiet, artsy village that’s literally the last stop on a road to nowhere (just two hours from Cape Town). And just a gentle stroll’s distance from the quaint cafes and shops, you’ll find a private estate that’s home tpo Lucky Crane’s five delightful villas.

There’s an option for every type of traveller, and The Olive Woodpecker is ideal for a small group of friends or a family with older children (aged 10 and up). With three gorgeous en suite bedrooms, a spacious living area, an indoor fireplace and a sparkling 7m pool that overlooks an olive orchard, it offers both privacy and ample opportunities to come together for a shared experience. Dogs are not allowed – but, hey… you deserve a break, too.
