In Review: Self-isolate in style at Spanish Farm Guest Lodge's self-catering luxury villas

8 Jul 2020

As the local tourism and travel industry tentatively opens up South Africans can start venturing out of 'house arrest' and help boost our struggling tourism industry by escaping to remote and secluded accommodation options across the country.

One such secluded escape is Cape Summer Villa’s Spanish Farm Guest Lodge in Somerset West in Cape Town. Situated on a four-hectare estate, the boutique lodge offers various self-catering accommodation options, from the private cottage to stand-alone two-bedroom villas.

The villas boast two stories of slick modern design, fully-equipped kitchens, wood-burning fireplaces, en-suite bedrooms, under-floor heating, outdoor showers, natural water plunge pools and the most stunning views of False Bay upon generous terraces.

What more do you need?

The estate also houses a chicken farm, vegetable garden and roaming springboks amongst its indigenous gardens, which burst with beautiful fynbos and abundant birdlife.

An absolute highlight of a recent stay at one of the two-bedroom villas was a breathtaking dip in the natural water plunge pool followed by a steaming hot shower in the jungly outdoor shower area amongst gentle rain and tweeting birds. So restorative!

The Spanish Farm is the ideal base from which to explore the beauty of the Western Cape - major attractions in the nearby vicinity include South Africa's most famous wine routes - Stellenbosch (a 10-minute drive), Franschhoek and Paarl (40 minutes). The lodge is a 20-minute drive from the Cape Town International Airport, a 40-minute drive from Cape Town and the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Robben Island and Table Mountain.

The Spanish Farm Guest Lodge is currently offering Stay in SA Play in SA Specials on its accommodation options:

the Guest House rooms at R1,000
the secluded and private self-catering Rose Cottage (perfect for self-isolation) at R1,200 per night,
the Honeymoon Villa, with sea views at R1,600 per night,
the two-Bedroom Villa set in indigenous gardens at R2,000 per night, and the ground floor open-plan Apartment for two, at R1,300 per night.
