Description

Halfway on the way to Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and Botswana from Cape Town, you will find the ideal overnight spot just before Calvinia, on the edge of the peaceful and safe little town of Nieuwoudtville, on top of a 2,000 ft plateau at the crest of the famous Van Rhyn's Pass. Rulyn Cottage is a newly renovated, country-style retreat with beautiful views over farmland.

It is located on a working olive and pecan nut smallholding on the southern edge of Nieuwoudtville, known as the bulb capital of the world and rated as having the cleanest air in South Africa. The cottage is set in a charming, friendly, and safe town that rests on a 2,000 ft plateau between Vanrhynsdorp and Calvinia.

This open-plan cottage can accommodate 2 guests and is tastefully furnished with a queen-size bed. It has an en-suite bathroom fitted with a shower, basin, and toilet. Crisp linen and towels are provided.

The unit has a kitchen equipped with a fridge, air fryer, microwave, toaster, cutlery, crockery, and tea- and coffee-making facilities, and features a centrally located dining table with chairs. It also has a cosy couch.

Outside, guests can enjoy some downtime, have a lovely braai, or enjoy a morning coffee or glass of wine. Secure parking is provided. Furthermore, guests have access to numerous restaurants and plenty of local cuisine in the area.
