BLACKWOOD LOG CABIN
Mountain Retreat
Self Catering Accommodation
Hout Bay near Cape Town
"a tranquil mountain retreat where the forest and mountains will re-awaken
the soul"
A self-catering log cabin that sleeps four with a swimming pool, trampoline
and large sun-deck.
Set high on the mountain slopes of Hout Bay with panoramic views across the
luscious valley to the mountains of the 12 Apostles, blackwood log cabin clasps
the side of the mountain like an eagles nest. Tranquil and quiet, here you can
simply be in and appreciate nature.
This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom log home, complete with swimming pool, open plan
lounge, dining area and kitchen, has foldaway glass doors opening onto the
sundeck. Here you can watch the valley where the eagles like to soar. The
enormous windows let in an abundance of natural light during the day and a
canopy of stars at night. The dramatic sunsets tint the sky from dusty pinks to
fiery reds.
The cabin is set in two acres of indigenous garden and forest with rock
formations, wild flowers and Koi fish ponds. The natural swimming pool, low
slung hammocks and trampoline, make it the perfect natural playground for
children.
This warm, welcoming home is perfectly positioned for exploring the peninsula
and the city. It is only minutes away from the beach, restaurants and cafes. The
V&A Waterfront and the Table Mountain Cable car are 20 minutes away along a
beautiful scenic drive. The Contstantia Winelands and Kirstenbosch Botanical
Gardens are less than a 5 minute drive away.
Accommodation
The main bedroom has a queen bed and glass sliding doors that lead onto a
private covered deck with a hammock and chairs. The two large windows look out
to the mountains from where the sun and the moon rise.
A Victorian bath placed in the corner offers beautiful views to the forest and
mountain peaks. A toilet and basin complete the en-suite bathroom.
The second bedroom has twin beds and glass sliding doors that open up
onto the main deck. The large window looks past the yellow wood tree and beyond
to the mountains where the sun sets.
The second bathroom has a walk in rain shower with a large window looking
into the yellowwood tree. The wooden basin and toilet complete the bathroom.
The kitchen is spacious and elegant. It is well equipped with a glass top stove
and oven, fridge, dishwasher and microwave. All cooking utensils, crockery and
glassware are fit for entertaining guests.
The Lounge is elegant with high ceilings and hanging lampshades that
mimic silk woven cocoons. The lounge extends onto the deck with foldaway glass
doors on three sides that opens it up to the valley and the mountains.
The deck has wooden table and chairs for the inevitable el-fresco dining
and evening drinks. There is a barbeque for cooking on the open fire.
The swimming pool is deep and playful and a wonderful place to soak up
the African sun.
The furnishings
The furnishings are organic and textures are of the earth: linen, cottons, sea
grass, raffia, sisal, bamboo, knotted leather and sea shells. The hanging lamp
shades mimic silk spun cocoons. The organic connection is not limited to the
furnishings; the walls and floors are treated with plant oil on the inside and
the house uses the African sun as its source of energy.
Those seeking quiet rest will find it in the tranquil setting of Blackwood
Log Cabin.
