Eensgevonden Vineyard Cottages is a highly recommended B&B with self catering option, providing accommodation in Rawsonville for anyone visiting the Breede River Valley region.
Eensgevonden is a working wine farm in a stunningly beautiful position. 360 degree views stretch across the great expanse of the Breede River Valley and the magnificent mountains that surround it. The farmstead - a National Monument - the oldest farmhouse in the Valley, dates back to the 1720's. Friendly hosts will give you a warm welcome and happily show you around their farm and vineyards.
The farm includes 400ha of mountain Nature Reserve with scenic hiking trails through the fynbos. A 5 minute walk from the cottages is a gorgeous secluded mountain swimming pool. An hour from Cape Town, Eensgevonden is in one of the largest wine producing areas in South Africa. Over 20 wine cellars within a 15 km radius all offer free tasting of the excellent wines.

Sally and Douglas were excellent hosts from start to finish. The cottage is well kept, neat, tidy and has everything you need. The rock pool a few minutes walk is amazing. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle then this is the place to do it.

This is a beautiful part of the world. Big mountains, vineyards everywhere and very good wine. The Spring flowers were all over which was quite a sight. The accommodation was very warm and comfortable and perfect for our own cooking. Everything you need is in the cottage. Sally and Douglas were always helpful and told us all about the area and where to go. We recommend these cottages and we will come again.
