House

New Wine

Perfect for families & friends to enjoy an actual home away from home.

This private, self-catering home is situated at the base of Marula Trail and the start of Aloe Trail, with a beautiful view of Marula mountain and the bush. Guests can enjoy the shade of the weeping boer-bean and wild olive trees after sometime spent on the trails.

New Wine is situated very close to The Shed but as it faces the opposite direction, this makes it private. ​ New Wine has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The  main room has a king bed and the second bedroom has 2 single beds that can convert into a king should you need and is made up with 100% cotton linen. Towels are provided.

This unit has a private wood-fire hot tub and is pet friendly.

The open plan sitting room/kitchen has everything you need to make it a home away from home and you can enjoy a fantastic meal at the braai or just chill on the stoep. ​

We do offer freshly cooked meals daily – available for order at The Bike Village. We recommend that you book your meal 5 days before arrival as we need preparation time to provide a healthy fresh meal.
