Where Bainskloof, near Wellington
Distance from CT 1.5 hours
The 660-hectare Mount Bain Private Nature Reserve is a sight to behold, with its fynbos-dotted hills and sweeping plains of plush farmlands. It’s here, perched on the view-drenched slopes, that Stonewood Mountain Cabin takes centre stage with its floor-to-ceiling windows. Completely exclusive and utterly private, the spacious hideaway is like something straight out of a Christmas movie, where nothing but starlit skies and the sound of birdsong is around to keep you company (coupled with your getaway crew, of course). Bliss for couples, friends and families alike!
Eco cred Off-grid, using solar energy; water pumped from the nearby river; ecofriendly soakaway septic tank.
