About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)
Rented on an exclusive basis (there are no other guests on the property during your stay). Set on a ridge of afromontane forest overlooking a spectacular river, 6 Km from San Sebastian Bay. A fully stocked water sports store and guests enjoy private access to the Duiwenhoks river. Two plunge pools filled with pure spring water, multiple entertainment decks and barbeque facilities. Max. capacity is 6 adults and 3 children. Three separate sleeping cabins (low walled stone cottages) interlinked by well maintained walkways - togetherness and privacy is the aim.
but where and what is Vermaaklikheid?? .......... allow one of our guests to let rip as follows:
“In a land far away... happiness is a hamlet called Vermaaklikheid. Its unpronounceability may have saved it from becoming the next hipster place-to-be, or it could be just a tiny bit far for the masses to come for the weekend. Either way, long may the madding crowds stay away. Here you will find rustic, barefoot tranquillity at its most raw and simple best. Three separate stone bedrooms sleep up to nine rosy-cheeked river dwellers, sharing the Bath House (an indoor/outdoor affair with piping hot water pumped from the donkey boiler to a large stone bath and shower), two outdoor showers and two separate loos. These river folk (that's you) gather in the evenings around abundant fireplaces both inside and outside the main living and cooking house, overlooking the moody waters of the Duiwenhoks River. Manicured gravel pathways wind between the buildings, past pool and yoga deck and down to the boathouse, where canoes and paddles are stowed ready for long days floating up and down the river. The beach is just a few kilometres away if you fancy a surf, with plenty of hiking and mountain biking to be done along deserted dirt roads in all directions. Completely off the grid, time stands still here and the modern world fades away.
Thorn & Feather will steal your heart, take it for a romantic paddle up the river, cook it dinner on the fire under a starry sky and return it, smitten and exhilarated, and ready for the next adventure.”
