Die Bokwagtershuis
(sleeps 6)
Die Bokwagtershuis (Goat keeper’s house) was originally built during the 19th century as accommodation for Matjiesvlei’s goat keeper. His task was to tend to all the goats of the different farmers in the valley. The house has been authentically restored to maintain its atmosphere, with addition of modern amenities.
Middelplaas
(sleeps 4)
The history of the cottage on Middelplaas (Middle Farm) is unknown. It is the only house on Middelplaas and was probably many decades ago used as a residence for the people looking after the farm for the owners who lived elsewhere in the valley. Over the years it became very run down before it was renovated by the present owners into a cottage with the most beautiful view over the olive orchard, veld and mountains. It is a cosy 2 bed roomed self catering cottage, only 3 minutes walk from the private picnic site next to the river.
Die Stalle
(sleep 6)
Die Stalle (The Stables) was originally built as the residences for two of the owners of undivided shares in the agricultural land bordering the Kleinrivier (Little River). Later owners turned the houses into stables. It has now been restored into a comfortable 3 bed roomed cottage with a beautiful view of the valley and mountains. It is next to the farm dam.
If you want to unwind, Matjiesvlei Cottages is the place to stay: you can swim, cycle, hike, enjoy birding, read and enjoy your time relaxing in this valley!
