To escape city life, spend a weekend at this retreat... lives up to its reputation as Cape Town's greenest B&B... generous hosts... a refuge from the sun" (Sunday Times, 28th Feb 2010)

Welcome to a unique setting: a beautiful family home built out of organic materials – mud, straw, and wood; finished with natural sealants and eco-friendly paints; and lots of love. Here you can relax in a room furnished with natural and organic materials, take a shower heated by the sun and soon recycled in the garden, and enjoy a full organic breakfast.

The guest accommodation, with its own private entrance, consists of a spacious triple bedroom with ensuite shower and ablution facilities. The main bed is a luxury queen-size bed, and there is also a single futon bed suitable for an additional adult, which can be opened up into two futons if a family of four wishes to take the room. Linen, curtains, mattresses, towels etc. have all been made from natural and organic or recycled materials. The room features views of the Cape mountains. There is access to the garden and off-street parking available.

The house is situated 200 metres from Muizenberg beachfront, justly famous as a perfect beach to learn to surf as well as a family swimming beach. Muizenberg itself has many shops, including organic grocery shops, restaurants, surf schools, and performance venues: it is one of the most diverse and interesting communities in the Cape. The cob house is also 200m from Zandvlei, our lake and park area (home to the Cape Town International Kite Festival in the spring, as well as water sports and plenty of birdlife), and 5 minutes walk from the False Bay train station, which has regular connections to central Cape Town and south to other resort towns along the Cape Peninsula. The Muizenberg section of the Table Mountain range has spectacular hiking and caving opportunities and can be reached within 10 minutes walk; half an hour walk (or 4 minutes on the train) gets you to Kalk Bay’s popular attractions, via St. James, which features a wonderful and safe tidal pool for swimmers of all ages.
