Fodor's Expert Review Rijk's Country House
Winterhoek Rd., Tulbagh, Western Cape, 6820, South Africa
On the outskirts of the village, this rural abode sits on a ridge overlooking a dam where you can enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. The thatched suites have modern interiors and private terraces leading to the poolside garden. High ceilings, good-quality linen, and original art in each room contribute to the luxe atmosphere. The restaurant is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and serves brasserie cuisine with local flavors; meals can be enjoyed on the terrace in good weather or by the fireplace in winter. The cottage across the river has two bedrooms and is a great option for families.
