Along the beautiful Van Der Stel Pass in the Overberg, lies a little gem called Porcupine Hills, a working Olive farm with some gorgeous secluded self catering cottages. Our cottage (Caracal) sits nestled in the mountains next to a stream, surrounded by acres of natural beauty of the larger Diepklowe Private Nature Reserve. Caracal is well appointed, with everything to make your stay in nature comfortable. The cottage is perfect for a couple with a lounge, kitchen, bathroom (large shower, basin and toilet) and bedroom. You just need to bring your own food and drinks and a good book to read next to the mountain pool. No TV, but good WiFi. Large braai place outside and inside the kitchen (just right for those cold winter months) There are a few hiking trails to explore. We took the road up to Moonrise Hill, down through the secret forest and around the dam. If you want peace and quiet, and don't want to drive to far out of Cape Town, Porcupine Hills is the perfect spot.
