We view an outing to Eikelaan Farm as a complete Break from Reality and a total switch off from the buzz of the city life - great for recharging the batteries and clearing the mind. The peace and tranquility should leave you feeling totally rejuvenated and relaxed. On offer at this neat working farm with wheat, vines and cattle are 3 immaculate self- catering cottages all fronted by an open vista of green fields merging into blue mountains - an appealing contrast of the soft and rugged' The cottages are light and airy and decorated in natural hues and textures. Wide windows and double doors drench the interior in light. Terracotta floors inject the rustic country edge offset by crisp white linen and thick duvets. All have indoor fireplaces, making for cozy winters in a corner of the world where snow on the nearby mountains is not uncommon in winter. On the other hand if you are dropping in during the summer months you will be thrilled to know all the cottages have air conditioners and overhead fans as well as access to a swimming pool and lapa. The 2 - one bedroomed cottages comprise of a main bedroom with either a king size bed or 2 three quarter beds, a lounge/dining room, kitchen and bath room. They are large and theoretically can sleep 4 but are realistically designed for 2 adults with or without offspring. The two bedroomed cottage is suited for a larger family and sleeps up to 6 . it has 2 bath rooms, fully equipped kitchen, lounge, dining room. The cottages all have an outside braai with private patio's, where while watching magnificent sunsets, one can indulge in sundowners They are surrounded by a broad stretch of green lawn which is a paradise for children.
