Ceres, they also raise horses, sheep and
some cattle. There too is the Oubos Cottage,
a comfortable and well equipped self-catering
unit that sleeps four people in two bedrooms
and more if the TV room/indoor braai area
is utilised. Although surrounded by working
buildings - the farm creche is next door and
the fruit sheds are within reach, there is a real
feeling of privacy and, especially when visiting
on a weekend, soul-enriching quiet.
Although a farm stay should be about “getting
back to basics” you might be surprised by the
high-glamour of the main bedroom at Oubos -
complete with a silvery crystal chandelier and
two bejewelled pendant lights on either side
of the double bed. There’s plenty cupboard
space too if you were planning on a longer
stay. Although the second bedroom is larger,
it doesn’t have the stunning view over the
horse paddocks to the mountain beyond. The
second bedroom has two single beds. A taller
person may find these a little short. There’s
one bathroom with a basin, toilet and shower.
Expect excellent water pressure as well as
Charlotte Rhys bathroom amenities.
The kitchen area doubles as a dining area
with a large table and six chairs. You could
comfortably fit eight around this table and
additional chairs are used as side tables in the
spare room.
