Description from owner

Description

That Place is situated on our working wine farm, That Wine Demesne. It's a comfortable, friendly home where you can spend a good relaxing holiday. Forests and pastoral views, rich bird life - and, if you are lucky - elephants wandering through their paddocks across the valley.

The house has 2 levels: two bedrooms upstairs: king-size master bedroom and twin bedded children's room. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with bath and shower and the second bathroom has a shower. Both bathrooms are upstairs.

The kitchen is well equipped and is an open plan design with the dining and lounge area. Smart TV with Netflix loaded and lots of books to read and games to play!

The garden at That Place is prolific in bird-life, so for birders, it's a real joy. There are, occasionally, naughty Vervet monkeys, so do keep your food inside.

On lovely sunny days (of which there are many) it's perfect to sit out at your private pool, on a sun-lounger absorbing the quite of the trees or the calls of the birds and hellos of the monkeys across the valley.

Evenings are great fun at That Place - with the undercover barbeque area (what we call a 'Braai') and a very long wooden table.

A fire and food, good friends and wine, what better way to end an evening under the velvety African sky ...
