Three bedrooms, beside the cellar

Three bedrooms in the oldest cottage on the farm

Owl Cottage is the original Oude Jong's cottage — the eldest son's house — and the last to be renovated on the farm. It adjoins the wine cellar, and the history of the place is written into its bones: the old section carries the high ceilings and wide wooden floors of the Cape Victorian era, while the wing added in the 1950s brings a warmer, more modern feel.

Three bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite), a large lounge and dining area, and a separate fully equipped kitchen make Owl the natural choice for families or groups of friends. The private garden is generous, and the covered stoep looks directly onto the Middagkrans mountain — a view that rewards lingering over.

Owl Cottage is the largest of the Bo La Motte cottages, and the most characterful.
