Annex at Pippins

Annex at Pippins is a luxury self-catering garden apartment with incredible views, adjoining the main homestead in the stunning Elgin Valley. This is the perfect couples’ retreat to recharge your batteries while overlooking the magnificent valley. This garden suite offers a private, light and airy ground floor space, approximately 1 hour's drive from Cape Town International Airport. The large north-facing bedroom has a king-size bed with fine cotton percale bedding. The en-suite bathroom offers a bath, while the separate shower room is ideal for a relaxing shower. The open-plan lounge, well-equipped kitchen and dining area are stylishly furnished, with lovely views over the garden and neighbouring apple orchards to the mountains beyond. The 4 seasons-in-one-day climate is catered for with a cosy wood-burning fireplace, a portable heater and electric blankets. The plunge pool is for the hotter months. A Weber braai/BBQ is included. Free Wi-Fi access is available on the property. The suite boasts a solar inverter system to avoid load shedding. Stroll around the established garden with interesting trees, including walnut, macadamia nut, olive, wild fig and sweet thorn. Watch out for the hidden pond, a copy of Lady Anne Barnard’s Bath at Kirstenbosch. Or relax on the wooden bench under the age-old pin oak tree. We will ensure you are part of the bounty share if you're here when we harvest fresh vegetables, nuts, or olives.

Area Info

The Elgin Valley is located in the Overberg region of the Western Cape. Elgin has been known for almost a century for its famous fresh produce – most notably apples and pears. The area is one of the Cape’s most beautiful fruit-growing areas and wine regions. This agricultural centre is home to apple and pear farmers and producers of some superb cold-region wines.

This special valley is also known for its incredible award-winning cool climate wines. You will be near wedding venues, wine-tasting rooms, hikes, bicycle tracks, the Elgin Railway Market and the Cape Canopy Tour, as well as the Elgin/Grabouw Country Club. But also to just be here to do nothing at all, is an option.
