The Country Cabin
A soundproofed cabin with lake views, further from the crowd
About this stay
The Country Cabin sits further from Cape Town than most Caledon stays, 125km rather than the usual 97 to 99km, a trade that buys genuine remoteness for this adults-only, one-bedroom apartment. Soundproofing is called out specifically among the amenities, alongside a sun terrace, garden and lake views that set it apart from the town-centre guesthouse cluster. The living room and fully equipped kitchen, complete with a refrigerator, oven, stovetop and toaster, make this a real self-catering base rather than a serviced room, with a dining table and sofa for evenings in. Outdoor seating, a picnic spot and barbecue facilities extend the stay outdoors when the weather allows. Caledon Nature Reserve is 29km away and Hermanus Golf Club sits at 43km, both a genuine drive rather than a walk, in keeping with the property's quieter, more remote position. At 9.4 from 19 reviews, couples specifically rate the location highly for a two-person trip.

Our take
This suits couples specifically wanting privacy and distance from Caledon's more clustered guesthouse scene, the soundproofing and remote setting are the whole point. The fully equipped kitchen makes an extended stay practical. Travellers wanting proximity to the town's hot springs or nature reserve without a long drive should look at a more central guesthouse instead, since the extra distance here is a deliberate trade, not an inconvenience.
- Budget extra driving time, at 125km from Cape Town International this is further out than most Caledon stays.
- Use the fully equipped kitchen for the full trip, it's built for cooking rather than reheating.
- Book the picnic spot into your plans, it's a genuine amenity worth using on a clear day.

Why guests love itThe Country Cabin is adults-only, so it is not a choice for families travelling with children, and I would point couples or adult groups to it instead. The self-catering apartment has a fully equipped kitchen with oven and stovetop, soundproofing, a sun terrace and views over a lake and garden. It lies about 125 km from Cape Town International, which suits a road trip. The 9.4 score comes from 19 reviews.
