In Review: Self-isolate in style at Spanish Farm Guest Lodge's self-catering luxury villas

One such secluded escape is Cape Summer Villa’s Spanish Farm Guest Lodge in Somerset West in Cape Town. Situated on a four-hectare estate, the boutique lodge offers various self-catering accommodation options, from the private cottage to stand-alone two-bedroom villas.

The villas boast two stories of slick modern design, fully-equipped kitchens, wood-burning fireplaces, en-suite bedrooms, under-floor heating, outdoor showers, natural water plunge pools and the most stunning views of False Bay upon generous terraces.

What more do you need?

The estate also houses a chicken farm, vegetable garden and roaming springboks amongst its indigenous gardens, which burst with beautiful fynbos and abundant birdlife.

An absolute highlight of a recent stay at one of the two-bedroom villas was a breathtaking dip in the natural water plunge pool followed by a steaming hot shower in the jungly outdoor shower area amongst gentle rain and tweeting birds. So restorative!
