Frog Mountain Getaway

Accommodation Description

Frog Mountain Getaway is a dreamlike escape situated on a nature sanctuary at the end of a farm road in the heart of the Langeberg mountains near Swellendam in the Western Cape. Five years ago, Frog Mountain farm became the cherished home of the current owners, fulfilling a decade-long dream of finding the "Perfect Place." For the owners, this idyllic farm is more than a destination; it's their vision of "Heaven on Earth." Apart from being their home, they continue to share this breathtaking setting with nature-loving families, as a unique, secluded family getaway accommodating up to 45 guests. A place where children can run barefoot and free in nature, and families can make magical memories together, in a spectacular natural setting.

Frog Mountain has six private self-catering houses, including three enchanting, cosy thatched rondavels for small families. All the houses are private except for two small rondavels which are close together - perfect for sharing families or friends. All offer an unforgettable stay. They are natural sanctuaries of simplicity and beauty, with special touches such as Egyptian cotton linen, king-size beds, wood-fired hot tubs and many other extras to make your stay comfortable. There is also a spacious fully fenced, private farmhouse with a swimming pool that sleeps 12 – perfect for groups of friends or families travelling together. With a strict no-music policy, Frog Mountain offers an oasis where nature thrives and serenity is par for the course.
