Budget Getaways Review

Fifteen kays from Robertson and tucked at the foot of the Langeberg Mountains on a 12ha tract of fertile farming land, Assegai Rest is a down-to-earth farm escape from your usual humdrum of city traffic and yapping neighbourhood pooches.

Circled by pretty surrounds (crammed with hiking and mountain biking potential), is a private farmhouse (click here), a TiPi camp (click here) and the gorgeous little Olea Cottage...read on.

Olea is all about R&R for just the two of you, the little timber-clad two-sleeper is aptly named after the wild olive (Olea Europa) tree which protrudes gracefully through the upper deck. The cottage is built on terraced land below Assegai House - the main farmhouse, and commands gobsmacking vistas over the Langeberg Mountains.

The upper and lower level wooden decks make outdoor living in Olea a real treat. That said, indoors really is a treat as well. You've got a comfortable queen bed, a spacious living space with fireplace, an equipped, open-plan kitchen and a loo and shower. All linen and towels are supplied. Back out on the deck, there's a hammock and deck chairs, braai and a wood fired hot tub - Nice!

It get's better through...if the hinterland heat gets the better of you during the summer months, you've got use of a sparkling swimming pool situated mid-way between Lancewood Tipi Lodge and Assegai House.

Apart from a myriad of farm roads, gentle strolls and rural surrounds to explore, Olea makes a uber chill spot for those wanting to hide out for a night or two in gorgeous surrounds. A great setting, super hosts and the perfect bolthole for a romantic weekend.
