Magical Cabin in the Woods

You won't see the ocean from this milkwood forest cabin — you'll hear it: surf, foghorn, birdsong. Winter is our season: sink into the steaming wine barrel hot tub under the trees, then braai indoors by the fire while the weather does its worst outside. In whale season (Jun–Nov), boat tours leave from Kleinbaai's own harbour, minutes away. Self-catering, private and secluded, two-night minimum. Made for slowing down, not passing through.

Winter is when this place is at its best. While everyone else waits for summer, you get:

The wine barrel hot tub. A barrel tub under the milkwoods, heated and ready when you want it — no tending, no waiting. Sink into steaming water with cold winter air on your face, rain on the leaves if you're lucky, and the sea somewhere out in the dark. This is what guests write home about.
