Ashlands Cottage
The Crags, Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape, South Africa
A Bohemian chic house and separate cottage featuring a swimming pool and scenic forest walks.
Where Nature Meets Bohemian Elegance
Tucked away in a peaceful forest glade, Ashlands is a beautifully curated escape that blends bohemian charm with rustic elegance. Surrounded by indigenous forest, birdsong, and mountain air, this secluded sanctuary invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover life’s simple pleasures.
Offered exclusively during peak season, Ashlands offers a soulful connection to nature and a slower pace of living. A serene dam lies hidden within the property — perfect for quiet reflection or an early morning dip. Wander scenic forest paths, collect fresh eggs from the chicken coop, or simply soak in the rhythms of true farm-style living.
The heart of Ashlands is its easy outdoor living: enjoy sunny days beside the forest-view pool, or take a moonlit soak in the freestanding outdoor bathtub, perfectly placed for star gazing under the wide country sky. Whether you're cooking in the farm-style kitchen, reading on the patio, or enjoying al fresco dinners beneath the trees, every moment here feels unhurried and grounding.
This is forest living at its most enchanting — warm, whimsical, and wonderfully restorative.
