Ottersbend Bed & Breakfast accommodation in Bonnievale Western Cape

Description

There is a land where juicy grapes grow, purple and green, and a majestic chain of mountains dominates the scene!
Truly an apt description of the view from Otter's Bend cottages.

Situated on the edge of our wine and fruit farm dam, the cottages have easy access to the Breede River and are only 14kms from Bonnievale.

Otter's Bend cottages are ideal for a relaxing few days or a family holiday. Also perfect for groups of up to 12 people. Each cottage has it's own pier and there is a rowboat and paddle skis for use on the dam. The adventurous can hire a kayak for fun on the river and swimming is allowed. For the fisherman, there are carp and bass in the river and tilapia in the dam.

This is a popular cycling and wine tasting area with excellent cellars nearby. River boat trips, horse riding, 4x4 trails, rock climbing, golfing and many other activities are within easy reach.

Enjoy a sundowner on the patio while starting the barbecue. Firewood is provided
