Ekogaia Farm Cottages are unique, secluded, quiet spaces of rest and tranquillity on a private estate. We are situated halfway between the cosmopolitan buzz of the city and windswept beauty of Cape Point.
Ekogaia Farm Cottages provide a special sense of place and solace that our visitors find remarkable. They are nestled in private spaces within a large property, making it easy to believe you have discovered an isolated haven, far from civilisation. The sweeping mountain vistas and seascapes are framed by indigenous trees, providing a special natural environment.
The cottages are designed, built and run in order reduce your environmental footprint. Active and passive heating and cooling, solar water heaters, recycling and energy saving enhance your comfort and satisfaction.
All personal comforts are laid on for you to relax and soak in the restful peace and quiet. There is plenty of space for children to explore and for adults to enjoy. The great adventures, amenities, shops, restaurants and beaches of Cape Town lie just around the corner.
