Teagan Cunniffe
Surrounded by mountains and sweeping vineyards, these stylish self-catering cottages in the hidden Blaauwklippen Valley offer a soul-restoring Winelands stay.
Quiet dusty roads, lush vineyards, horse paddocks and towering mountains make up the breathtaking Blaauwklippen Valley – a tranquil oasis situated just outside the popular Winelands town of Stellenbosch, and home to this charming cottage retreat.
Located on a scenic wine farm, among rows of vines, the nine self-catering Mont Angelis cottages offer discerning travellers the space and quiet that can’t be found in the city.
The original farm dwellings are now beautifully renovated cottages, and Mont Angelis’ enviable location – away from the hustle of the Stellenbosch town centre, yet still close enough for exploration – makes it the ideal spot for a romantic getaway, or weekend away with family and friends.
The lodgings
Each well-designed and decorated cottage boasts a private patio with breathtaking views, and a wood-burning fireplace for winter. There’s also a sparkling communal pool for hot summer days in the valley.
