Elgin Country Lodge  

Tucked into Elgin's cool valley in the Western Cape, on a working apple farm in Grabouw. The lodge sits about 2 km from Grabouw town centre, roughly 34 miles from Cape Town International Airport, with Howhoek Nature Reserve some 16 miles away for day hikes.

A restored old house turned lodge with five luxury bedrooms, roomy verandah and a generous dining and lounge area. Rooms feature air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, DSTV, a small fridge and an in-room safe, while the lounge streams Netflix. Expect classic farmhouse charm, garden views and plenty of porch time.

Free Wi‑Fi, free private parking and ample garden space with a terrace, picnic and BBQ areas. On-site restaurant and shared kitchen keep things easy, and a shared lounge invites relaxed evenings. Guests can hike nearby and enjoy orchard air and wide verandah mornings.

Free Wi‑Fi throughout the property, private check-in/check-out and ample parking make short stays and road trips hassle-free.

An on-site restaurant serves buffet or continental breakfast, while a shared kitchen and BBQ facilities let you cook or grill on your own. Casual, homey meals and fresh local produce are easy to find here.
