The stay

A private little cabin almost on the water, made for two.

Tucked into the edge of a lush small farm dam, The Little Lakehouse is a peaceful off-grid escape for two — a place to slow down, switch off and enjoy a little time away together.

Spacious and thoughtfully designed, the cabin opens onto a private deck with the water right in front of you. Spend slow afternoons on the deck, enjoy a braai overlooking the dam or soak in the hot tub beneath the Eastern Cape sky. As the evenings cool, gather around the outdoor fire pit or curl up beside the indoor fireplace — especially cosy on crisp winter nights.

Secluded and surrounded by nature, The Lakehouse is wonderfully uncomplicated — just the two of you, the farm and the sounds of the countryside around you.

A little place for two, almost on the water’s edge.
