Budget Getaways Review
You may well never have heard of Albertinia, it’s a blip on the map, just west of Mossel Bay, and here’s a getaway that’s equally as unobtrusive as the town it’s closest to. Klein Riet Sanger, aptly named after the busy little avians who dart around the reeds at the nearby rivers edge.
The farm is situated 20km from Albertinia and the little cottage is privately positioned, right on the edge of the Valsrivier (If you've got small kids, this could be a safety issue for you). Things are blissfully simple here, meaning you may as well leave your string of electronic gadgets at home if you’re planning a visit.
The cottage is off grid, and by that we mean truly off grid. No electricity, no WiFi & no cell signal. Hot water is by means of a wood-fired donkey boiler, lights are battery powered and you’ve got a gas fridge.
Indoors things are cozy and neat with a small kitchenette, indoor fireplace and living area (with sleeper couch) and a mezzanine loft with queen bed. Outdoors you’ve got a braai area (wood provided). Braai packs and fresh milk are also available request.
Apart from farm roads to explore by bike or foot, the river is a great escape during the heat of summer, you’ve got a canoe to use and the fishing can be great. Birders are bound to enjoy the river and surrounds with over 100 species recorded.
Simple, tranquil and far from the madding crowd. Klein Riet Sanger is your bolthole to another world.
