The Castle
Description
Tucked away on the serene and scenic Kings Hill Estate, The Castle offers a truly one-of-a-kind stay in a beautifully restored stone building that once served as a charming little church, complete with intimate wedding receptions in its past life.
Set apart from the world, the location is peaceful and remote, shared only with a handful of other cottages, making it an ideal hideaway for couples seeking tranquillity and a touch of history.
Perched on a small hill with sweeping views of the surrounding landscape, the cottage is accessed via a wide stone staircase leading to a generous stoep area. Here, you’ll find a built-in braai, a relaxed outdoor seating area, and a delightfully quirky bespoke large bath-style hot tub with hot water direct from the geyser – no struggling with wood fires!
Step through the large glass front doors into a calming open-plan living space inspired by the natural colours of the area—earthy browns, greens and soft blues. The open kitchen flows into the lounge, with a solid wood dining table in between for indoor meals. A few vertical windows, a nod to the building’s original church design, frame views of the valleys and mountains beyond.
A smart TV and comfy couch create a cosy atmosphere, especially during winter stays. Thanks to the thick walls, the home retains warmth in the winter and stays naturally cool in the summer, adding to the comfort of the space.
The spacious bedroom continues the blend of old and new, with tall, church-style windows and a striking feature wall of exposed stone and stained glass. The ensuite area is open-plan, with a walk-in shower seamlessly integrated into the room. The toilet is tucked away in a separate private room.
Outside, take a quiet moment on the far side of the cottage where a secluded nook is perfect for morning coffee and peaceful contemplation. From here, you can follow a short walking trail that begins just above the cottage, inviting you to explore the natural beauty of Kings Hill.
Please note: Kings Hill Estate is located on Koningsrivier Road, 10 minutes (6.5km) away from the village of McGregor (On the road leading to Robertson).
