BUCHUBOS VILLA BA NGHOE K VA L L EY, SOU T H A F R IC A

Hideaway in nature!

The air is crisp, dry and fragrant with fynbos and an intermittent whiff of wood smoke from the Kolkol heating gently on the hillside. Birds are chirping, sunlight is streaming in, and the views are nothing short of spectacular from every window. This is Buchubos Villa, hidden deep in the little-known Banghoek Valley, past 21kms of citrus farms and the occasional blueberry tunnel.

Its elevated perch at the start of the Banghoek Valley Nature Reserve gives it mesmerising 360-degree views of the rugged peaks behind the Piketberg on one side and a steep massif on the other – the last of the mountain ranges before the wild Atlantic Ocean. There’s only one dirt road through the valley and if you keep going it’ll take you to Redelinghuis, in the direction of the Citrusdal, a drive worth doing as you’re likely to have this off-the-beaten track route all to yourself. But this is one of those houses that invites complete relaxation with sun streaming in every window, the cosiest blankets for afternoon reads and fireside chats, and a kitchen for cooks and coffee lovers.
