Description

MaLkop on MaLplaas - the mad house high on a hill on a funny farm in Africa. Comfortable, creatively appointed and considerately equipped thatched house surrounded by farmlands, river, dams and private nature reserve. A secluded spot for wicked weekends away, fooling about with family, friends and dogs, or for those in search of stillness and solitude. MaLkop is exactly ONE hour from Cape Town, six minutes from Bot River, twenty minutes to Hermanus and a comfortable drive to local beaches and neighbouring villages.
