The register

Coppull is a piece of Overberg fynbos farm with one thatched homestead on it. We keep it that way on purpose. The gate closes behind you and the reserve is yours — the river, the ridges, the whole quiet lot of it.

You turn off the Stanford road, cross the cattle grid, and the noise stops.

The house

Thatch, lime & cool floors

The front of the house, brick path through the lawn
Fig. 1 — Front elevation, gables and chimney

A Cape farmhouse, thatched and whitewashed, added to over two hundred years. Five bedrooms, five bathrooms, terracotta underfoot, a fireplace big enough to sit in, and a kitchen built for ten people cooking at once.

Bring your own food and wine — Stanford has a good butcher and a better farm stall. We supply the linen, the towels, the firewood and the quiet.

Entry 03How the days go
01

Walking the reserve

Tracks through the fynbos to the ridge. Duiker, tortoise, sugarbird, and a lot of proteas in July. Bicycles if you'd rather ride.

02

The river & the jetty

Our own jetty on the Kleinrivier. Fish off the end of it, swim, or take the canoe out early.

03

Fire, every night

Braai on the terrace while it's light, then the indoor fireplace. Wood is stacked by the back door and it's on us.

04

Going into the village

Ten minutes to Stanford — brewery, wine bar, Saturday market. Hermanus and the whales are half an hour on.

Nothing is scheduled. There is no reception, no restaurant, no one knocking on the door. Vogelgat is 9.2 km away if you want a longer hike.
