Kecil Cottage @ Sempurna Estate
Description
Experience the tranquility of Kecil Cottage – a heritage retreat on a picturesque working farm 1.5km outside the town of MacGregor.
From the moment you pass through the gates of the estate, you’ll know you’ve arrived somewhere special. The gravel road winds through a row of olive trees and grapevines, offering a glimpse into the scale of this breathtaking 458-hectare farm. The farm road is accessible to most vehicles but sport cars or drivers with vehicles with very low clearance need to be cautious, especially on the first ramp/bridge.
Spanning 34 hectares of cultivated farmland, Sempurna Estate produces a bounty of grapes, peaches, apricots, and olives. Depending on the season, you might be welcomed with freshly harvested farm produce or homemade jams, bursting with flavour.
A true walk down memory lane, the original farm house, now Kecil Cottage is a beautifully preserved Cape Provincial Heritage Home. By law, its historic charm must remain untouched, and while the lounge is adorned with period furniture, the kitchen and bedrooms are thoughtfully updated with modern comforts to ensure a cozy and convenient stay.
The spacious main bedroom features a plush king-size bed and the bathroom has underfloor heating for chilly Klein Karoo nights. Across from the main cottage and the enclosed courtyard, is the second bedroom. It has two single beds, and is perfect for older children or additional guests. The open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen area is inviting and airy, with a small sleeper couch ideal for two small children or a teenager.
Please note there is a surcharge of R125 per night to make up the sleeper couch for an extra person or young kiddies. When requesting to book, please confirm if you will be using the sleeper couch.
Step outside into your private courtyard, a charming oasis where a built-in outdoor braai (barbecue) and a four-seater dining table invite you to linger over meals under the open sky.
For those drawn to adventure, the Klein Karoo landscape calls. Wander up the hillside to a quiet bench with panoramic views over McGregor and the sprawling valley beyond. Explore the farm’s 11-kilometer hiking trail, immersing yourself in the unique beauty of the Renosterveld ecosystem.
For a true bush experience, meander up another hill to discover the secluded bush boma—a magical spot for an evening braai under a starlit sky. Here, the only sounds are the crackling fire and birds settling in for the night.
A short stroll from the cottage leads you to our impressive indoor 25-meter Olympic-style pool, shared with fellow guests and McGregor’s local swimming clubs during the week. Next to the pool, a small fully equipped gym awaits those looking to stay active.
Kecil Cottage is nestled within the beautiful ‘werf’ gardens. Here the pace slows, the early morning air is crisp, and the beauty of the Klein Karoo wraps around you like an old friend. Whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, or a taste of farm life, this is a place where memories are made.
