“Definitely 4 star! Thank you so much for an amazing holiday!”
Fig Tree is named for the magnificent old fig trees (ficus burkeii) facing the cottage.
These provide not only our guests' garden shade, but also much bird activity. We sometimes see a spotted eagle owl in these trees, as well as kynsna louries, Cape white eyes and green pigeons, all attracted by the ripening figs in summer. In September the flowering orange clivias in the garden beyond are a feast for your eyes. A few years ago even a pair of rare tree hyraxes (tree dassies) was spotted from the Fig Tree verandah.
In keeping with this special garden corner we decorated this cottage in the reds, golds and greens of a ‘birds-bugs-and-botanicals’ theme.
Fig Tree Cottage now has its own shady little reading or sundowner spot where a fire can be lit and a Weber braai enjoyed on a balmy evening.
“This IS a very special place. Wonderful gardens. Cottage was wonderful, thoughtful comforts. Thank you for sharing!!!”
