Suidster is a beautiful self-catering retreat located on the famous Route 62 between Montagu and Barrydale at the foot of the Langeberg mountains. There are only two solar-powered cottages on the 110-hectare farm in the Klein Karoo, offering a sought-after sense of privacy in nature. The gracefully designed two-sleeper cottages, Poortjies and Dwarriega, feature an open-plan layout and are equipped with stylish furnishings, ensuring a comfortable blend of elegance and practicality.
Each cottage offers a fully-equipped kitchen for wholesome meals, a spacious lounge and dining area with an indoor fireplace, a large bedroom with a luxurious king-size bed, and a beautiful bathroom with free-standing clawfoot bathtub and rain shower. Guests are invited to kick back and relax on the patio surrounded by sweeping fynbos, or in the private wood-fired KolKol Hot Tub available at each unit.
The scenic Klein Karoo is known for its gorgeous landscapes and wonderful hideaways tucked among indigenous vegetation and rolling hills. Suidster welcomes travellers to a fully off-the-grid, self-sustainable escape nestled among wild fynbos flora, where both cottages provide uninterrupted views across the valley – creating the perfect retreat for those seeking refuge in nature with all the creature comforts of home.
The setting surrounding the cottages is truly mesmerising, offering beautiful vistas in every direction. Whether you choose to explore the magnificent farm landscapes on one of the scenic trails, or prefer to unwind in the comfort of your own stylish cottage or the warmth of your wood-fired hot tub under the stars, you're guaranteed a stay that will leave you with a sense of tranquility.

Great attention to detail
We really appreciate the attention to detail that went into the cottages. The surrounding landscape and Fynbos is truly magnificent. You can come here and forget about the world for a while.

Endless views
A slice of fynbos paradise! Soaking in a wood-fired hot-tub while looking up at a star-studded sky. Endless views. Gentle hikes. Accommodation that meets every need, even offering fresh roasted coffee beans and a stove top espresso maker.
