Ideal if you really want to get away from everything but do not want to travel very far away from it all! This quite valley accommodation nestled among the Oak's is ideal for people that want to take an electronic break. Elke the new manager/owner is working hard under the restraints of Covid to make your stay as wonderful and relaxing as possible. There are several options of cottages for different size groups/families... We had a cute 2 sleeper with a bath and kitchen unit...we sat outside under the trees while having a braai. You can also walk up the hill on the farm if you feel the need for some exercise...there is a nice big dam where you can spend the day and go rowing and swimming. If you organise with Elke she will pack you a picnic basket to have under the trees on the blankets. Very relaxing. We also drove to Hermanus one day to go and explore the town and walk along the promenade. We also drove to Kleinmond for a mid-morning/lunch, easy drive to take a walk on the beach and explore the town. There are many other little 'dorpies' within reach for you to drive to and explore. A definite MUST is the Elgin Railway Market...an amazing, repurposed Railway building with the best pizza I've had in a long time. Do yourself a favour and do...

Firstly Elke and her staff is amazing with regards to being hands on and providing the BEST possible service they could. She is quite accommodating to certain requests we had. This made things much easier for us.
The place in itself is breathtaking and peaceful, the sounds of chirping birds and nature came through so clearly, compared to the busy city life we all know. If you need a place where signal does not come through strongly than go to Oak Lane because you'll truly get to experience life in it's fullness. This place has a magical rusty taste with a slight modern comfort. But if it's luxury you are looking for this is not that. This is a setting for nature lovers and those that appreciate a "back in time feel". This was our 2nd time returning and we returned with our entire family and they all had such a great time.
A bonus is the lovely lake in summertime along with the complementary canoes. It's a setting not to miss out on. We will be of the one's that are returning guests each year :)
One thing that should be added to the cottages are...
Read moreWe had our wedding weekend at Oaklane Cottages and had an amazing experience. The staff was friendly and very helpful and made the weekend special for us, our friends and our family. On Friday evening, we had a lovely braai next to the kiddies play area with the whole family. Saturday, we had our wedding ceremony under the trees on the grass, and the reception was just a few meters away, with the venue acting as our dancefloor. The weather was perfect, and it was extremely convenient for us to have everything together and so close to each other - accommodation, ceremony, and reception are all within walking distance. It is also idealy that the venue is not far from the CT airport, as many of our guests were flying in to atttend. It was my dream wedding and I would reccomend Oaklane Cottages to anyone. We will definitely be back just for a weekend stay as well in one of the lovely little cottages next time we...
