Setting Description

The Elgin Valley, just an hour's drive from Cape Town in South Africa, is often called the "Valley of a Thousand Views" and features a multitude of activities, from hiking through the natural fynbos vegetation to ziplining through the mountains. For those seeking a peaceful escape from the city, adventure on the valley's mountain bike trails, or a tranquil retreat to recharge, Cheverells Farm Cottages offers it all.
