About Camissa Cottage

Camissa Cottage is a beautiful, modern wood cabin offering Stellenbosch accommodation on Camissa Farm, surrounded by landscaped orchards and wild fynbos. Camissa Cottage is self catering and is the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature.

Self Catering Accommodation

Camissa Cottage is a self catering holiday cottage in Stellenbosch with three bedrooms. The main bedroom is furnished with a King-size extra length bed and has an en-suite bathroom fitted with a shower, toilet and basin.

The second bedroom is furnished with a Queen-size extra length bed. The third bedroom is furnished with two single beds. The separate bathroom is fitted with a shower, toilet and basin. The bedrooms are all supplied with the highest quality linen to enhance your stay.

The kitchen is equipped with a gas hob and oven and a fridge freezer and the dining area will comfortably accommodate you and your guests.

There is a large outdoor braai area surrounded by dry-stone walls next to the cottage. A wide deck with wooden armchairs and hanging reading chairs for you to relax in overlooks the Drakenstein Mountains whose magnificent proportions are reflected in the two dams next to the cottage.

A hot tub is placed in the stone boma next to the cabin for you to enjoy a warm bath while taking in the view.

The Farm

Camissa Farm, which means “place of sweet water” in Khoi, is located in the Banhoek Valley between Stellies and Franschhoek. It is high in the mountains, up in the clouds with a stunning view into the valley itself and across the valley floor to the Simonsberg. Despite feeling as if we are far from anywhere, we are actually only eight minutes from Stellies.

At Camissa, we farm on a small scale and you may notice that our orchards are mixed. Olives, almonds, lemons, rosemary, garlic, rose-geranium, avos, walnuts, macadamia, and asparagus live happily together. This is to promote diversity and confuse the pests thereby reducing our need to spray.

There is a nesting pair of jackal buzzards which circle constantly and keep the rodents largely under control and at night you will hear nightjars calling and clicking stream frogs chirruping by the dam. If you are unlucky you may be disturbed by a raucous toad party.
