Oakhurst Forge

 
 

Description

Oakhurst is one of the original large properties of the Garden Route. Situated in the Wilderness district, near George. It lies on the undulating plateau between the indigenous forests of the Outeniqua Mountains and the steep forest gorges sloping down to the Wilderness "lake district".

The farm covers the area of 640 hectares, 200 hectares of which is forest and fynbos. Five years ago, Jake and Claire decided to restore the Old House on Oakhurst in which they live today. The Old house had lain derelict for decades. Today it had been preserved to its original state. Here they live with their two daughters. In the bottom of the garden is the beautiful stone building in the 1800's, it was very dated, dilapidated and tired. Two years ago, Jake decided to restore the Forge and turn it into a very unique, comfortable and beautiful farm cottage. Built out of rock and huge yellowwood beams, the cottage sleeps two adults and maximum of three children comfortably. It enjoys a quiet setting overlooking the most beautiful forests and fields grazed by herds of jersey dairy cows and Aberdeen Angus beef cattle.

This is the place to go to get away from it all. Quiet and peaceful! Absolutely stunning cottage.
Stunning & Romantic!
Elize Kellerman, South Africa

The cottage is beautiful and thoughtfully decorated to make you feel at home. Lots of small details to ensure a comfortable stay such as candles, unlimited wood, fire lighters, eggs, milk, rusks & biscotti. Plus everything you might need! Claire and her family are wonderful hosts, the cottage was cleaned daily and the room's lights & heater were on when we arrived in the evenings. Very cosy and the perfect romantic getaway - we didn't want to leave!
