Get away from it all when you stay under the stars. This is the perfect place to switch off, relax and reconnect with nature. ‘Weavers Nest’ is a stone cottage with river frontage situated in the Koue Bokkeveldt on the southern tip of the Cederberg Wilderness Area, some 250 km from Cape Town. Rough GPS coordinates as there is no physical address: -32.672959, 19.215696 (Search) The cottage has two bedrooms with double beds on the ground floor and two single beds on the mezzanine floor. Completely surrounded by mountains, it is a perfect location to relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility the cottage offers. Ideal for quiet me time, reading, writing, chess, retreats, meditation, yoga, hiking, birding and swimming in the river in a safe and secure place. It is NOT a place for wild parties and loud music! The cottage is ‘Off the Grid”. Lighting is by paraffin, solar and battery lamps, a four plate gas stove and firewood for cooking, and gas fridge and freezer. A gas geyser supplies hot water to the bathroom and kitchen. A wood fired Donkey burner supplies hot water for a shower in the second bathroom within half an hour. The lounge has an open fire place for cooking and warmth and a BBQ area on the verandah.(NB PLEASE READ BELOW ON FIRE POLICY ). SUMMER Get your hiking, biking and other outdoor activities done by 11.00 AM as it can get very hot during the day, with temperatures sometimes in the late 30s and early 40s. Alternate the rest of the day between relaxing on the shady verandah and swimming in the river. The orchards on the surrounding farms are dripping with summer fruits and the aroma of flowering citrus trees is a treat. If you keep the doors and windows closed during the day, the cottage is well insulated and will remain cool inside for the rest of the day. Please be water wise during the summer months, and ensure to carry enough water with you during your outdoor activities!
Mike is a fantastic host! The house is wonderful and inviting, and perfectly stocked with everything you would need to feel comfortable without electricity. The surroundings are truly unreal, I could sit outside staring at those mountains and listening to the birds for hours on end, and I’ve never seen such beautiful sunrises/sets. There are also so many trails to walk and spots to swim in, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and definitely want to return. This is a lovely place to go if you want to be somewhere beautiful and quiet.
Amazing view from the stoep, afternoon snoozes on the many couches, company of birds during the day and frogsongs at night, reading by paraffin lights, hot showering from a donkey geyser, poor reception, felt like we were completely alone. Exactly what we needed to switch off and recharge! We loved the rustic, homey cottage and can't wait to be back to dip further into the extensive library of interesting books!
We loved our stay at Weaver's Nest - it is perfect for a quiet family getaway. The setting is beautiful with many walking and swimming opportunities and the house is comfortable. The library is extensive and covers several genres (history, biography, novels, plays, poetry, birding, plants, music, etc.).
What a place !!! Mike’s house is the perfect setting to unwind and relax in beautiful surroundings. The peace, the views, the little river in front of the house, the mountains and the incredible bird life makes it the perfect spot to chill. This is a family house build and cherished by Mike, Jane and their children, which gives a special cosy vibe to the place. We felt so privileged to be there and enjoy this experience. A little gem for nature’s lovers. We loved it !
