Budget Getaways Review

Surrounded by an open expanse of lawn, with a patio gazing out onto the jagged peaks of the Wizenberg Mountains, Protea Ridge could easily be something out of a movie set deep in the Canadian Rockies.

The house sleeps a total of six in three twin bedrooms - a king with ensuite bathroom, a queen room and the third a twin room. It’s spacious, modern and uber-comfy, with the most gorgeous views from the full length patio and outdoor braai area. The kitchen is well equipped, the living area spacious and kitted out with a large flat screen and DSTV in case the rugga’s on while you’re there.

There’s also an indoor fireplace for the winter chill and a flat lawned area for the kids to “baljaar”, not to mention a great outdoor hot shower. Common to both is a great combination of indoor and outdoor living, which works a treat, with the patio doors leading to the outside surrounds…this makes it hard not to spend your time just gawking at those gorgeous views. If the heat of the day gets too much, then head down to the farm pool nearby for a cool off. While we’ve got you outside, there’s a great braai area adjacent to the cabin, overlooking the river and valley. Nice!

If you're heading out to explore, there are plenty of gravel roads to head off on either by foot or bike, and of course hiking trails galore in the nearby mountains. Tulbagh itself is an interesting historical attraction and has some great galleries, restaurants and coffee shops. Oh, and did we mention a great spread of wine farms to explore? A great looking getaway, close to the Mother City and in a setting that makes you feel you're in another world. We say BOOK IT!
