Budget Getaways Review
Lekkerdroom Farm lies off the beaten track between the Tesselaarsdal Mountains and the Hemel en Aarde Valley, 25 kays from Caledon.
A dream made true for mountain bikers, hikers or anyone looking for wholesome escape, this working farm has oodles of space, heaps of tranquility and two rustic cottages befitting a John Wayne spaghetti Western.
The cottages take the form of the couples unit, Lê Lê Huisie, and a four-sleeper family unit cutely called Boertjie se Droompie.
While both sit directly alongside each other, the outdoor living areas ensure adequate privacy from your neighbours. Alternatively, take out an insurance policy and book both.
Lê Lê Huisie is a renovated farm building with double bed, fully equipped kitchen, ensuite bathroom and a covered stoep leading onto the garden and braai area.
In keeping with its farm vibe, wonky walls, exposed timber beams and casual farm furnishings are the guiding theme.
Stepping next door, Boertjie se Droompie has two bedrooms (a double and twin), and a double sleeper couch in the living room for surplus human cargo.
The living area sports a dining table and couches, while the open-plan kitchen has a fireplace to ward off the chill. Outside, you’ve got a stoep and braai area.
Far from the crowds, relaxed and easy-going accommodation, plenty of outdoor fun on and around the farm itself, Lekkerdroom looks like a good option for anyone seeking an easy dash from the Mother City.
"A quaint, rustic little cottage with beautiful views. The very hospitable host, Lucas, called to establish our arrival time and when we arrived the cottage was warm and toasty with a fire going. Very considerate. The perfect setting to escape from the city and surround yourself with mountain views and quiet."
