“Country life has its advantages, he used to say. You sit on the veranda drinking tea and your ducklings swim on the pond, and everything smells good and there are gooseberries.”

— Anton Chekov

Private, self‑contained living spaces for independent work.

Residents stay in one of two quiet, self‑contained units on the property. Each space is simple, private, and designed to support focused days of work, rest, and routine.

The Garden Cottage

The Garden Cottage is a small, free‑standing unit with an open‑plan layout and a private garden under the trees. It has a double bed, a shower room, and a kitchenette equipped for self‑catering. The space is quiet and light, with a view into the garden and outdoor seating for working or eating outside.

The cottage is suited to longer stays and to residents who prefer a separate building with its own small garden and a more independent rhythm.

Klein Karoo

Klein Karoo is a self‑contained apartment with its own entrance and a garden view. It has a double bed, a shower room, a working desk, and a basic kitchenette. The terrace offers an outdoor space for quiet time, reading, or working outside.

Klein Karoo is suited to shorter stays or residents who prefer a compact, minimal living space connected to the homestead.

General notes

Both units are private, self‑contained, and set up for independent living. Fresh linen and towels are provided. WiFi is available. There are no televisions in the units.

Pets may be accommodated by prior arrangement.
