Beaumont Wine Estate - Accommodation in Bot River, Western Cape, South Africa

Beaumont Wine Estate - Accommodation in Bot River, Western Cape. On the historic Compagnies Drift farm (1750), which produces Beaumont Wines, lie two very comfortable yet unpretentious cottages - Pepper Tree and Mill House (where part of the building is indeed a restored mill). It is an idyllic setting (- amid vineyards and orchards, spectacular vistas, and with a dam and river nearby) and an ideal base to explore the whole Hermanus/Elgin region.

Price: 3

Self-catering

2 cottages

One cottage called Mill House with views down to the river and across the valley to the seldom-used rail line. Off the kitchen, there is a quaint courtyard and braai area. There are two double bedrooms with a sleeper couch in the living room that can sleep two more. The other Pepper Tree Cottage.One double bedroom with two extra sleeping places in the living room. Fully equipped kitchen, outside braai, kitchen fireplace, linen duvets, towels provided, wood-burning heater.

You can sit around an old mill stone and admire the antediluvian water wheel, while the willow-shaded jetty on the farm lake offers one of the Western Cape’s prettiest settings for sundowners and wheatland views. While meandering through the flower-filled garden you realised that there is no real need to move from the farm, you can swim in the informal swimming pool – being the lake - under the weeping willows where the weaver-birds make their nests or you can roam about on their land – they own half a mountain. To find the horses and horse-riding you only have to trot down the road. The world class Arabella golf course is nearby.
