If its rustic old-world charm that you are after, along with elevated mountainside views, and an uplifting dose of farmland solitude, then look no further than the Lake Cabin at Old Mill Drift.

Here you can channel your 'inner-Hobbit', living a soul-reviving 'simple life' under the cute thatched roof, while soaking up the breathtaking scenery all around.

The farm estate itself offers a plethora of activities - just meters from the front door - in the form of awesome hiking trails to the springs, waterfalls and rivers that litter the landscape (expect to be joined by the friendly farm dogs while you're exploring).

And once you've worn yourselves out with all that trekking, you can relax back at the cabin by either sparking up the braai on the scenic verandah, or, on cooler evenings, lighting the log-burner in the open plan living space.

The well-equipped spacious kitchen, and light-filled bathroom add a splash of modern functionality to this charming abode - and you might never want to get out of the super-comfy the king-size bed in the cosy master bedroom. But that would be an almost criminal waste with all that pet-friendly natural beauty to explore.
