Babilonstoring Mountain (Babylon's Tower mountain) We have named this cottage Longwood Cottage, after the Manor House (Longwood), where Napoleon was incarcerated on St Helena Island. The movie Monsieur N was filmed on our farm and some of building materials from the set have been used in our renovations. There are two vineyards below the main residence. Pinot Noir & Shiraz

Welcome to Cordale Cottages



Longwood cottage is the first in a series of guest cottages that are being built on a number of family owned farms in the Hemel-en-Aarde valley.
This quaint cottage is located on the historic Langhuis farm.Langhuis is a working sheep and cattle pasture farm.

The cottage has three bedrooms,a study, voorkamer/lounge and an open plan living area which opens onto a wide mountain facing stoep.
There is a Jet master fire place in the lounge for those cold winter evenings.
The cottage is situated below the Babilonstoring Mountains, next to a long band of woodland and on the edge of a pristine indigenous fynbos area.

There are spectacular views of the Babilonstoring mountain range and rural farm scenes. Walking in these mountains does wonders for the soul. The surrounding Walker Bay and Overberg area has much to offer in the form of pristine beaches, whale watching, birding ,photography, hiking, etc.

The cottage is situated on the Hemel-en-Aarde valley wine route.Next door are Ataraxia, Creation, Mount Babylon and Jakob’s Vineyard Wineries. They have developed a reputation for excellence with cooler noble cultivars such as Sauvignon Blanc,Chardonnay,Pinot Noir etc. The cool maritime climate and wonderful gravelly ,clay rich soils provide a favourable “terroir” for the vines.

There is a profusion of flora and fauna(of the Cape Floral Kingdom), with exceptionally high bird populations. Raptors, migratory birds such as the European stork, Blue cranes, geese, ducks and a myriad of smaller species. The sweeping views, tranquility, silence, stars, pastures and lush mountain will transport you to a stress free state in minutes.

The red room has twin beds with crisp white cotton linen. This room is mountain facing with views up to the Babilonstoring mountains.

The green room has twin beds with crisp white cotton linen. This room has a view of the surrounding wheatfields and up towards the vineyards beyond.

The lounge has a Jet Master fireplace, comfortable furniture, and can seat 6 people. Mountain facing with a door opening out onto the patio.
