CABINE DU CAP MONTAGU, KAROO
An eco-masterpiece!
Only two and a half hours outside of Cape Town in the Poortjieskloof mountains near Montagu, you will find Cabine Du Cap – a top hideaway and beautifully serene off grid luxury retreat on 175 hectares of land in the Klein Karoo, completely isolated and unlike any other – definitely one for the romantics. If you haven’t been lucky enough to relish a stay here, it’s likely you’ve seen it featured in one of a plethora of lifestyle magazines around the world. And while it will appeal to the romantics, it calls for a romantic with a great business head; as the four dwellings on this 175-hectare Klein Karoo farm run at an impressive 80% occupancy.
CARACAL
Impossibly positioned on the crest of a mountain overlooking the valley below, Caracal is an four-bedroom eco-masterpiece masterpiece with 360 degree views and accommodation for up to 12 people. With 360-degree views and a swimming pool on the edge of a cliff, Caracal is fully off the grid with reverse osmosis purified water, solar and gas power. Timber is sustainable Siberian Larch from rarewoods.co.za. Architecture by Migs + Drew, landscaping by Tone Alexander and interiors by Malawi Cane.
THE MAIN CAMP
The Main Camp consists of La Cabine (the original cabin), Goshawk’s Nest. a luxury safari tent, and Weaver’s Nest, a luxury camping tent. All three of these are in close vicinity to each other.
La Cabine is surrounded by mountains and makes the absolute most of the great outdoors by opening out to extend the deck into one, immense platform. On the lower level there’s a pool, boma and another shaded lounge, making this the most blissfully easy bush escape.
Surrounded by mountains, there isn’t a city light to be seen and only the sound of tooting owls and jackals to be heard at night. As bush escapes go, this is just blissful – this is glamping at its best – and there’s opportunity to build an additional cabin on a different but equally beautiful site.
If you’re after a retreat in the mountains, and don’t want to skip on any of life’s pleasures then this is the place for you. In fact, here it’s quite the opposite; you can probably dial up the pleasure meter in every conceivable way.

CABINE DU CAP
Montagu, Karoo
Expansive views across the mountain valley are just magical, particularly on hot summer days, or when the sun sets and everything turns golden. At night time guests are spellbound by the sounds of owls toot, jackals barking and the wide-open sky, strewn with infinite stars. And as early morning light creeps in, the skies fill with bird calls and even, for those lucky enough, perhaps the cry of the elusive Caracal.
Cabine Du Cap accommodates up to 20 people with two primary options where you can stay: Caracal and The Main Camp.
