My story
Tucked away in the picturesque mountainous valley of Vyeboom in the Western Cape, Welbedacht Farm Cottages offer a peaceful retreat on a working apple farm – just 30 minutes from Franschhoek.
Perfect for couples seeking a romantic getaway or a small group of friends looking to escape the city, our cottages provide a charming and comfortable stay in nature.
Accommodation
Whether you’re looking for a solo retreat or a shared experience with friends, our cottages can accommodate up to three couples who want to enjoy a getaway together while still having their own private space.
Each of our three one-bedroom cottages is thoughtfully designed with a private bathroom and an open-plan kitchen and living area.
Granny Smith
Bright, airy, and grounded in natural textures, the Granny Smith Cottage features a plush double bed, muted sage accents, and a sleek barn door leading to an en-suite bathroom. Enjoy an open-plan kitchen and living space – complete with a cozy seating corner and breakfast bar – before stepping onto the private porch for uninterrupted orchard and mountain views.
Pink Lady
Warm, gentle, and full of natural light, the Pink Lady cottage pairs earth-toned textures with serene rustic finishes. Rest in a solid wooden double bed, enjoy the smooth flow into a modern en-suite through a sage green barn door, and unwind in the seamless open-plan living area or on your private covered stoep.
Gorgeous Gala
Spaced around an airy, high-beamed living space, the Gorgeous Gala cottage blends natural textures with classic charm. Rest comfortably in a plush queen bed set against a woven headboard, relax in the light-filled open-plan lounge with a cozy bouclé armchair, and enjoy direct access to your private covered patio.
Connect with nature, friends and yourself
Step outside and soak in the fresh mountain air. Enjoy hiking and mountain biking trails right from your doorstep, or relax on the large open lawn, perfect for outdoor games and lazy afternoons. As the sun sets, gather around the communal fire pit for a cozy evening under the stars, sharing stories and making memories.
Experience Vyeboom
For those wanting to explore the local scene, the famous Elgin Railway Market is just 15 minutes away, offering delicious food, live music, and unique artisanal finds. Enjoy a zipline experience at Cape Canopy Tours, in the company of soaring eagles, surrounded by breath-taking Cape fynbos panoramas and mountainscapes just around the corner.
Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, Welbedacht Farm Cottages provide the perfect countryside escape.
