"If you're looking to escape and I mean really escape from the throngs of city life, then Dirk se Huisie is the perfect mountain getaway. Nestled within the Cedarderg mountains Dirk se Huisie is a secluded wonder. No electricty & mininmal signal this humble yet magical cottage is perfect if you're after tranquil beauty. The hosts, Elzette, Oom Appel/Jannie & everyone we encountered was super accommodating & friendly!"

"Fynbos haven"

21 March 2017

"Quiet, just off the proverbial beaten track, high above the hot Citrusdal and Swartland, with views to even Baardskeerdersbos if it is clear! Beautiful hike up a mountain from the back door of the house, through varied fynbos and with spectacular weathered rocks like in the Cederberg (including a massive arch)."
"Peace with Nature"

"Absolutely, amazing!!!!<br/>Beautifully done and completely off the grid. Makes you realize how much you don't need electricity, TV, internet, microwave and other "essentials" in life. Just good company, a glass of wine and a beautiful sunset"

"Magic place"

09 February 2015

"It's really a "golden sunset"! From a lovely and charming place in the mountains, we admired an insanely beautiful sunset far in the ocean.A cozy heart warming cottage in a peaceful place. We also had fun trekking, a path starting right behind the house took us up to some really nice views."
