A Piece of Quiet

UNLISTED

This dinky cottage, located above the R62 in the garden of Tessa Bruning, is a cosy little womb, ideal for the solo traveller or a romantic breakaway for two. The bedroom, furnished with a double bed, is entered from a stoep that enjoys elevated views over the garden and mountains. There is a bathroom with shower, and a cute kitchen equipped with the basics and a small table seating two. Guests are welcome to use the swimming pool, relax in the garden and explore the hills behind the cottage, or they can book a more structured retreat with Tessa. A one- or two-day retreat can be tailor-made to your needs, but could start with a sunrise meditation on the hill overlooking town, followed by a silent walking meditation. Mindfulness is encouraged in a mix of creative activities, preparing a shared meal and periods of silence alternating with discussions. Or simply check in and enjoy the privacy and serenity that permeates this aptly named cottage.

ROOM TIP If Piece of Quiet is unavailable, check on one of the Blue Cow Barn cottages (see page 39) – for last-minute bookings, Bertus may be negotiable!

COST R225 pp sharing (sleeps two). Retreats from R950 pp, including two meals.
