in De Rust, Western Cape, South Africa
Onze Plaasje,
De Rust, Karoo, Western Cape
Situated at the foot of the majestic
Swartberg mountains is Onze Plaasje, a self catering traditional boer cottage which was built in the early nineteenth century, in the idyllic little village of De Rust.
Onze Plaasje is a delightful refuge for those who need to escape from the world to relax.
The cottage was recently renovated and restored to its original looks. It consists of a kitchen with a little Dover wood stove, two bedrooms, a lounge, bathroom, as well as a big stoep on which you can sit, relax and enjoy the tranquil Little Karoo landscape.
Onze Plaasje is on a big plot on the outskirts of De Rust where it is very quiet and peaceful. You'll hear and see the nearby farm animals while you braai.
Guests are welcomed with a sample of 'Witblits' distilled in the area and a small jar of homemade jam from Onze Plaasje's own fruit.
There is no television or telephone and you are most welcome to switch off your cellphone as well and enjoy the bright stars and silence of the Little Karoo.
