An All-in-One Country Retreat: Family Home, Guest Cottages, and Luxury Lodges - EXCLUSIVE MANDATE.
Sixteen years ago, a family, in pursuit of their dream, acquired a vacant plot and embarked on the journey of building their ideal home. What started as a vision has now evolved into a remarkable reality. The property boasts spectacular panoramic views, with sunsets in hues of red and orange, and the morning sky often painted with soft pinks—a natural gift at dawn to this marvelous haven.
Longing for a country lifestyle, the family soon discovered the true charm lay in the surrounding attractions and conveniences. The location strikes the perfect balance, offering a tranquil retreat from the bustling Western Cape towns, yet close to Plettenberg Bay, where all essentials are readily
accessible.
The local environment has enriched their personal lifestyle, with horse riding, walks along pristine beaches, dining at exceptional restaurants, and enjoying the company of a welcoming community. It has proved to be an ideal setting for raising a family, where children can explore freely, and the presence of dogs, horses, and other animals creates a life infused with the essence of country living.
Sharing their paradise with others became a natural next step. With panoramic views across the rolling hills of the Tsitsikamma mountain range, it wasn’t long before a lodge and guest cottages were established. Families flocked to this retreat to hike on the farm or venture further afield, ride horses, unwind at nearby beaches, or enjoy an evening out at one of the renowned local eateries.
Many visitors became friends, returning time and again. “My wife’s favourite spot is the stables and the jumping arena, with its spectacular views,” shares the current owner, conveying his deep affection for the lodge and its sweeping vistas.
