With its winning combination of shiplap cladding, high pitched roof and sweeping views over the surrounding countryside to the distant Magaliesburg mountains,  this beautifully located hilltop accommodation almost brings to mind a cute cabin somewhere in Alpine Switzerland.

Its two generous bedrooms share a bright, modern bathroom, while both boasting king size beds. The open plan living space features a stunning wooden-beamed ceiling, sliding glass doors onto the patio, great views and large fireplace that's perfect for those cooler evenings (the dogs will love it).

The well-equipped kitchen has a breakfast bar, granite worktops and everything you need to be totally self-sufficient when it comes feeding everyone, while the massive, completely enclosed garden features both an outdoor shower and a brick-built braai.

Honesty, you'll probably never want to leave this property, but that would mean missing out on the 5km of dog-friendly hiking trails around Stone Hill farm (where you pooches can run off-lead) and the communal pool area that has two plunge pools dedicated to your canine companions.

And all of this around about an hour from the centre of Joburg!
