An Exclusive Mountain Sanctuary in the Heart of the Robertson Valley
Exclusive dual mandate.
Beyond the last curve of the mountain road lies Die Laaitjie, a secret world of waterfalls, vineyards, and glowing sunsets. This ±329 hectare estate, bordering the Dassieshoek Nature Reserve near Robertson, feels worlds away yet remains within easy reach of Cape Town. A place where nature whispers, time slows, and life unfolds in quiet luxury.
Hidden deep within the folds of the Langeberg Mountains, just seven kilometres from Robertson and a two hour drive from Cape Town, Die Laaitjie reveals a landscape of unspoilt wilderness and timeless charm. Bordering the pristine nature reserve, this secluded haven hums with birdsong and mountain air, while its meandering trails lead to secret rock pools and breathtaking vantage points over the valley’s main dam.
As the final farm before the reserve, Die Laaitjie offers unrivalled privacy and tranquillity, yet remains close enough to enjoy the region’s acclaimed wine estates, farm stalls, and local attractions. Each evening, as the sun dips behind Arangieskop Mountain, the peaks ignite in shades of gold and rose, a spectacle best savoured from the veranda with a glass of Robertson’s finest in hand.
Offered as a going concern, Die Laaitjie operates as both a hospitality destination and a working farm. While the current focus rests on the guest accommodation and eco retreat, the property’s rich soils and ample water supply hold vast potential for agricultural expansion. The valley’s Mediterranean climate is ideal for vineyards and olive groves, two of the region’s most celebrated crops, and the estate’s natural water resources ensure sustainability and growth for years to come.
The gracious four bedroom manor house is a statement of relaxed sophistication, with flowing living areas, two inviting fireplaces, and a swimming pool that mirrors the surrounding peaks. Three charming self catering cottages, each with two bedrooms and fully equipped kitchens, offer guests private outdoor spaces, scenic verandas, and the authentic warmth of country living. One of the cottages features both indoor and outdoor braais, a deep freestanding bath, and an outdoor shower beneath the stars.
Complementing the accommodation are a manager’s residence, laundry facility, workshop, and an assortment of heritage outbuildings including an old cellar, garages, stables, and pigsties, all seamlessly blending into the landscape.
Water is the lifeblood of the property. A natural mountain spring yields approximately 54 690 m³ annually, feeding four earth dams with a combined capacity of 23 500 m³. A waterfall supplies pure drinking water to the main house, cottages, and gardens, with overflow collected in a fifth dam, making a self sustaining ecosystem that defines the estate’s natural rhythm.
This property comprises of seven registered titles, and offers exceptional flexibility for future development, whether envisioned as an expanded boutique hospitality venture, a private family estate, or an exclusive eco retreat.
More than a property, Die Laaitjie is an experience, a sanctuary of serenity, sustainability, and understated elegance nestled among the mountains of the Robertson Valley.
