Ben Se Huis in Clanwilliam

The chalet has one bedroom, a bathroom, and a living room with a sofa bed. The kitchen is fully equipped with a stove, fridge, and cooking basics. The ground-floor unit opens onto a patio with seating. The swimming pool offers mountain views.

BBQ facilities and outdoor furniture are available for guests. The swimming pool is open all year and has a view of the surrounding mountains. Cycling and hiking trails start from the property.

Sevilla Rock Art Trail is 20 km away, a cultural site with ancient rock paintings. Hiking and biking paths are nearby. The closest town is about 50 minutes by car - pack supplies before arriving. Cell phone reception is absent, so download maps ahead.

Guests rate the location, quietness, and room comfort highly. They mention the spacious living area, comfortable bed, and well-equipped kitchen. Many appreciate the off-grid setup: solar power, gas for hot water, and a fireplace that draws smoke well. The lack of electricity, however, means bringing your own firewood and backup lights.

There is no mains electricity - the chalet runs on solar panels. The fridge's freezer may not fully freeze in cloudy winter. Paraffin lamps and candles are provided, but check batteries in torches before arriving. A high-clearance vehicle is recommended for the gravel road, which crosses a river that can be high in winter. Parking is free and on-site.
