save this for your next mountain escape 🍃✨ @theglenswellendam or The Glen Stud Farm offers gorgeous family cottages surrounded by the mountains in Swellendam 🤍 We stayed in Drifting Dusk, a cozy 4 sleeper cottage with two bedrooms, each with en-suite, a kitchen, two braai areas, indoor and outdoor seating and gorgeous views over the dam 🍃✨ Guests can enjoy free access to the Marloth Nature Reserve, where there’s many hiking trails (including a 2km waterfall trail!), plus a dam for swimming & kayaking 🙌⛰️ The property is just a 5 minute walk from town so you can take a stroll to a cafe! Plus it’s set on a working thoroughbred horse farm and it’s currently foaling season 🥹🐴💕
It’s the perfect family stay, offering gorgeous views and a cozy cottage plus nature activities right on your doorstep 🤍
