8 Sleeper Cottage - Koppie Cottage

Accommodation Description

Koppie Cottage at Uitspan Farm is a secluded, self-catering retreat positioned high on a rocky rise overlooking the surrounding Klein Karoo farmland. Designed for couples seeking privacy and space, the cottage offers a calm, unhurried stay with uninterrupted views across olive groves and open veld. The bedroom features a queen-size bed and an en-suite bathroom with shower, while the open-plan living area includes a fireplace and a compact but fully equipped kitchen suited to longer stays. Large doors open onto a private patio with outdoor seating and braai facilities, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow. The elevated position ensures complete separation from other units on the farm, making Koppie Cottage feel quietly independent while still benefiting from the wider Uitspan landscape and walking areas.

Setting Description

Koppie Cottage is set on Uitspan Farm, a working olive and artichoke farm in the Buffelsdrift area of the Klein Karoo. The cottage’s raised position offers a strong sense of scale and openness, with long views across agricultural land and distant mountain ridges. The farm spans over 100 hectares, allowing guests to explore gravel tracks and informal walking routes through olive orchards and natural Karoo vegetation. The environment is peaceful and largely undeveloped, with minimal light pollution and a strong connection to the rhythms of farm life. While the setting feels remote, the property is well placed for exploring Route 62, with Ladismith and Barrydale both within easy driving distance for supplies, meals, and local attractions.
