Bo-Tuin Cottage

Bo-Tuin Cottages are situated in Vanrhynsdorp, a popular vacation spot which transforms itself every year into a wild flower heaven. Our quiet self-catering cottages are set on a peaceful working olive farm.

Enjoy a relaxing walk down to the river, or relax under a tree whilst enjoying the views of Gifberg Mountain with its unique rock formations. Bo-Tuin is also close to a fantastic selection of wineries and restaurants. If arranged prior to arrival we would not mind serving breakfast if at all possible.

    19 April 2017

    "This is a beautiful cottage, furnished with care and that has everything one could need for a self-catering stay. It was comfortable and clean and we (both two and four-legged) were made to feel very welcome! Bo-Tuin was also the only accommodation that said it is pet-friendly and then actually permitted our dogs to come. We think this was a true strike of luck :)"
