R820/night for the first 2 people and R100/pp thereafter. Peak season rate is R1300/night for the cottage.
Surrounded by orchards and vineyards in the broad Breede River valley, and eight kilometers from Bonnievale, lies the farm Bordeaux and its three rustic timber cottages.
It's the type of weekend spot you’ll find yourself lazing about on your wooden deck, hat resting gently over face, the occasional plop of a leaping fish providing the only motivation to raise your weary head.
The three cottages, namely Merlot, Chardonnay and Shiraz, are privately positioned and sleep a possible six each - four is more realistic.
Cobbled together by rustic planks and boards - Huck Finn would feel right at home here - the interiors are clad in tongue-and-groove timber and simply decorated. Each has two double rooms, with an additional two single beds in the living room.
Within each cottage, is a central bathroom with shower, a kitchen with fridge, microwave and mini-oven, and an indoor braai/fireplace.
If you really can't do without, there's the added the distraction of DSTV - bring your own decoder or PVR.
Outdoor living is well provided for. A wooden deck and braai area are attached to each cottage, leading down to your private jetty. Parents of young toddlers beware!
With the gentle flow of the Breede literally on your doorstep, and a canoe provided at each cottage, no second guessing how you will be spending your weekend here. Kicking back with a good book on the jetty, slack fishing line nearby… A sundowner paddle down the river, fine bottle of Grand Cru and Woolies snack hamper tucked between the legs… The options for lazy decadence are endless…
