Off the Map

Secluded in a beautiful farming valley below the Swartberg mountains, Off the Map offers two stylish self-catering cottages with magnificent views of the spectacular Swartberg pass. This is one of the best places from which to visit the world famous Cango Caves and do day trips over the pass to Prince Albert and Meiringspoort or to simply enjoy the rhythm of Klein Karoo farm life. For those seeking an active holiday there are Cape Nature hikes, mountain bike trails into the mountains or along farm roads; rock climbing or even riding an ostrich at one of the nearby wildlife ranches. Only 42km from Oudtshoorn and a mere 6km from the start of the Swartberg pass this is the place from which to enjoy the recently declared Swartberg World Heritage site.

The cottages are fully equipped for self-catering, with fridges, stove, microwaves etc and wood is provided for the outside braai. Both cottages have private entrances and sunny porches. The Nguni suite offers a comfy cloud nine double with en-suite bathroom. The Butterfly suite offers a queen size bed with en-suite bathroom and two single beds, ideal for a family. Both cottages also have tables and chairs. This accommodation is perfectly suited to couples travelling together or a family travelling.

Off the map has rolling lawns to relax on in the warm winter sun,with a beautiful established garden and lots of outdoor space for kids to run free. A beautiful pool with mountain views can be enjoyed in summer and an outdoor shower with hot water is a treat whilst star gazing. There is also a classical 12 circuit labyrinth for those who wish to spend time in walking meditation. Break away and get Off the Map for a truly refreshing holiday!

    "We loved our overnight stay in Kate's cottages, and have vowed to go again, for longer. Kate herself was a charming hostess who made us feel most welcome. The cottages are particularly tasteful and well fitted and we were just sorry it poured with rain for the duration of our stay and we weren't able to walk up nearby mountains to see the beautiful waterfalls. We played bridge and enjoyed our supper in. Many thanks Kate."
