You might know Abrikoos Kloof Reserve in Montagu for their iconic Cave House stay which we visited last year, but you might not know that they have added two stunning unique stays to their collection. We just visited and can’t wait to share the scoop!
If you're dreaming of a getaway that mixes modern design with the wild beauty of the Klein Karoo, The Barn House at Abrikoos Kloof Reserve is where you need to be. This stylish cabin is all about mountain views and luxurious living, offering a perfect retreat for those who crave both adventure and comfort.
The Barn House is an architectural gem with its ultra-modern A-frame design. This cabin is more than just a pretty face, though. Inside, you’ll find a full kitchen, a cozy living room with not one but two fireplaces, and a bedroom that’s perfect for snuggling up after a day of exploring. The highlight? A freestanding bath with a view that makes you feel like you’re soaking in the middle of the renosterveld, plus an outdoor shower to keep you feeling close to nature.
The layout is smart and spacious. The bedroom, with its own fireplace, is at one end; the bathroom, featuring a wall-to-ceiling window, is in the middle; and the kitchenette and lounge area, with a large open fireplace, is at the other end. Every room offers uninterrupted mountain views thanks to large windows and glass doors, letting you bask in the natural light and scenery.
Outside, the fun continues. A private swimming pool and a wood-fired hot tub provide perfect spots to relax while taking in the stunning landscape. There’s also a boma with a pizza oven and braai area, making it easy to enjoy outdoor dining under the stars. If you’re feeling adventurous, hit the hiking trail that starts right from the house and winds into the mountains.
The decor of The Barn House is a tasteful blend of modern barn aesthetics and chic design elements, creating an ambiance that's both stylish and welcoming. Locally produced Fijn Botanicals and sumptuous bedding and towels add to the luxury, along with two luxurious gowns and exclusive Abrikoos Kloof bead bracelets waiting for you.
Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, unwinding in the hot tub, or enjoying a homemade pizza under the night sky, The Barn House is the ultimate mountain escape, blending luxury with the raw beauty of the Klein Karoo. Let us know who you’d bring here—we can’t wait to come back!
Now, if you think The Barn House sounds amazing, wait until you hear about The Mountain House. Perched high in the mountains near Montagu, this ultra-modern cabin might be the most remote and peaceful stay we've visited this year.
The Mountain House’s sleek modular design perfectly fits its stunning surroundings. Positioned between the Langeberg West and Langeberg East Mountain Catchments, this architectural marvel offers sweeping views of the koppies, hills, crevasses, and mountain ranges that define the Klein Karoo.
The cabin is divided into two ultra-modern living spaces connected by a wooden deck entrance pathway, ensuring privacy and space. Inside, the open-plan layout features a lounge with a fireplace, a dining area, and a kitchenette, all designed to make the most of the stunning views. Large windows and sliding doors invite the outdoors in, making sure you never miss a moment of the breathtaking scenery.
As night falls, step outside onto the deck for a star-gazing experience like no other. The clear skies of Southern Africa are a sight to behold, filled with countless stars twinkling brightly above the mountains. It's a magical view that adds an extra layer of enchantment to your stay.
The Mountain House also offers a unique bathing experience. The Devon Slipper freestanding bath is positioned to overlook the renosterveld and mountain valleys, letting you unwind in luxurious comfort while surrounded by natural beauty. An outdoor shower completes the experience, allowing you to connect with nature as you refresh.
Every detail at The Mountain House is thoughtfully curated for maximum comfort. From the custom-crafted hardwood extra king-size bed with a Sloom Mattress to the locally produced Fijn Botanicals and luxurious gowns, everything is designed to make your stay as relaxing as possible.
The fully equipped kitchen lets you prepare your own meals, but if you prefer, full catering is also available. Talented chefs can prepare delicious meals that showcase the flavours of the region, and you can enjoy these meals with panoramic views of the Klein Karoo. To complement your meals, curated wine pairings from Abrikoos vineyards add an extra touch of sophistication.
Outside, a stunning pool area offers breathtaking views, and a wood-fired hot tub, affectionately known as the naughty corner, provides a serene space to unwind. Whether lounging by the pool or soaking in the hot tub, you can enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
For an extra touch of luxury, a professional massage therapist can be booked prior to check-in, offering personalised wellness experiences amidst the tranquil surroundings of The Mountain House.
