Montagu
Reaching this sleek architectural marvel requires commitment - a 20-minute climb up a mountain pass followed by a drive across an elevated plain - but the reward is absolute seclusion. Positioned between the Langeberg West and East Mountain Catchments on the Abrikoos Kloof reserve, the modular design sits on an elevated cleft with panoramic views over koppies, valleys and fynbos-covered ranges. Two separate living spaces connected by a wooden deck create a sense of lightness and space, whilst floor-to-ceiling windows blur the boundary between inside and out. With a private pool, wood-fired hot tub nicknamed 'the naughty corner', and enough stars overhead to make you question everything you thought you knew about the night sky, this is remoteness done luxuriously.

The open-plan living area balances modern elegance with rustic warmth through custom-made furniture, a plush Winchester leather couch positioned beside the wood-fired stove, and massive windows on either side that frame endless Little Karoo vistas. The fully-equipped kitchen features perfectly positioned appliances that maximise functionality without cluttering the space - there's even a custom braai amphora for flame-grilled dinners under the stars. Outside, the expansive wrap-around deck flows seamlessly from living to sleeping areas, offering multiple spots to soak up the views with a G&T in hand. For those preferring someone else to handle the cooking, talented chefs can prepare regional menus paired with curated wines from Abrikoos' own vineyards.
A single luxurious bedroom occupies its own separate pavilion, featuring a custom-crafted hardwood extra king-size bed paired with a renowned Sloom mattress and sumptuous linens. The real scene-stealer is the Devon Slipper freestanding bath, strategically positioned to overlook the Renosterveld and mountain valleys - perfect for long soaks whilst watching the light shift across the landscape. Large doors open fully onto the deck, allowing you to wake to those extraordinary views without leaving bed. The outdoor shower adds another layer of nature immersion, whilst locally-produced Fijn Botanicals toiletries and luxurious gowns (each with an exclusive Abrikoos Kloof bead bracelet) elevate the experience further.
Historic hot springs, towering cliffs, and fruit orchards make for Klein Karoo perfection.
