Insika is a lovely self-catering restored laborers' cottage, totally off-grid, located on the R62, 8km outside Calitzdorp on the Gamka Private Farm Estate offering peace and tranquility, away from the noise and bustle of urban life, and encourages guests to wind down and enjoy what nature has to offer.

The cottage can accommodate 4 guests and comprises 2 bedrooms, which are both en-suite. The bedrooms are each furnished with a king-size bed and have open-plan en-suite bathrooms fitted with a shower, basin, and toilet. Both rooms have access to an outside shower. All linen and towels are provided.

The living area features an open-plan design with a kitchen, dining space, and lounge area. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge-freezer, 2-plate gas stove, microwave, basic crockery and cutlery, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and features a 4-seater dining table. There is a wood burning fireplace in the cottage for the cold winter months and a pond to attract the birds, frogs and other little creatures. The living area and kitchen are combined with a partially covered verandah which has access to a braai areas. Braai wood is included.

Guests should take note that water is obtained from a borehole so fresh drinking water is provided. All water is directed back into the veld. From the verandah, there are views of the olive grove, the nearby mountain range, and in the distance the R62. Safe parking and free Wi-Fi are available on the premises.

This cottage is situated on a working farm where vegetable pods and a wildlife environment can be found.
