Budget Getaways Review

Geelbos Cottage is a secluded renovated labourer's cottage on a typical Overberg farm at the foot of the Kleinswartberg mountain. 

This white tin-roofed cottage lies about 1km from the main homestead and consists of two bedrooms and a small living area.

Geelbos is off the Eskom grid, meaning you'll be enjoying the glow of paraffin lanterns as night sets in. There's a gas geyser for your hot water and a two-hob gas stove for your fry-ups. The cottage is fully equipped and linen, towels and braai wood are supplied.

Looking at the photos we received, the country-style decor and fittings feature a combination of pine and oak units, colourful prints on the walls (dominated by a feline theme) and other simple, yet homely, touches.

Outside you'll find a small covered stoep, a stone braai area and wide open space, with an unobstructed view of the mountains, cattle, sheep, horses and a farm dam, which you are welcome to take a dunk in. A small plunge pool has also recently been added.

Nice thing about Geelbos is that pets are allowed, a  drawcard for all you pooch-lovers out there. Comments from the guestbook are very positive, and include, "Heerlik!"; "We will definitely retun to this beautiful pophuis"; "The best accommodation of the whole Cape Epic."  

Check it out - we look forward to your verdict.
