Eerstebosch cottages are situated on Eerstebosch farm, a small family-owned, 9 hectares, lifestyle property with 3 hectares of vineyard. We are surrounded by lush vineyards and stunning 360-degree scenery. The farm is centered between Stellenbosch and Somerset West and is only a 25-minute drive from the Cape Town International airport. While staying in one of our funky cottages, you will experience the feeling of a working farm, while still enjoying the beauty and peace of nature that surrounds you. Eerstebosch has four renovated farm cottages, set in a spacious garden with a communal swimming pool and boma area. We are child-friendly but request that parents are extra careful around the open swimming pool area to ensure the safety of their children.
