| Buchan Estate is a country estate offering accommodation in thatched cottages with high beamed ceilings, tranquil views and furnished with touches of Africa. Set in three acres of paddocks and gardens, the estate is surrounded by mountains and trees with the Disa River running through the property.
With the emphasis on relaxation, privacy and nature there are only three cottages and each one enjoys uninterrupted views of the mountains surrounding Hout Bay. All have a private patio, modern fitted kitchen, TV, DVD, satellite and are fully serviced. In addition, each cottage has wireless Internet access. For a romantic getaway our honeymoon cottage has a king size four poster bed, sweeping mosquito nets and African stone bath. A conference room is also available with antique mahogany furniture, original artworks and paintings.
Children will enjoy the giant sand pit and jungle gym and the rolling 3 acres of lawn to enjoy. We also offer an excellent babysitting service and can provide fresh, additive and preservative free baby food on request.
Guests are free to roam and explore the extensive grounds and enjoy full use of the heated saline swimming pool and sauna. In the evenings enjoy a drink by the river banks and see the host of bird life at home in our grounds.
Breakfast can be provided in a breakfast hamper which can be delivered to your cottage, packed with fresh produce and home baking. Guests can also enjoy a range of relaxation therapies, an evening cooking service after a busy day and we can arrange tours, taxis and airport transfers.
Tucked under the eaves and hidden by the huge weeping willow is the large lounge area that all guests enjoy access to. With a fully stocked honesty bar guests are invited to enjoy a glass of chilled wine and gaze over the valley, or to have a leisurely game of pool and a cold beer.

Directions
|
| From Cape Town Airport:
Get onto the N2 following signs for Cape Town city centre (and Kapstaad). As you approach the city watch for a slipnroad off to the left signposted M3 Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and Muizenberg. Take this slip road and continue on the M3 until you see signs for Hout Bay (M63) going off to your right. Once you have turned right onto the M63 continue following signs for Hout Bay. After a very curvy drive through the beautiful blue gums of Constantia you will come to a large roundabout (circle). When you come to the circle the Constantia Nek Hotel and restaurant is on your LHS. You go straight over and down the hill towards Hout Bay. Continue down this hill until you see Tarragona Lodge signposted off to your right (watch for this sign at night, it is a smallish brown sign on the left side of the road). Turn right onto Disa River Road and continue straight, crossing the river. At the T junction turn left into Valley Road and continue to the Stop Street with World of Birds on your RHS. At this Stop Street turn left into Welbevind Way (a cul-de-sac) and Buchan Estate is the last property on the left. Buzz the top buzzer, marked Main House.
