In the sun-kissed quiet of story-book village Koringberg, La Belle Vie invites the world-weary to step into its folds and exhale.
Here on Sonop Street, this entire villa is available to guests. Think mornings on a wave of chirping birds and starlit evenings when the silence feels as huge as the sky.
With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the villa is ideal for families, friends or couples longing to slow the pulse of life. Expansive windows invite in the mountain light and a sun terrace opens to a lush garden. Two swimming pools shimmer beneath the vast Swartland sky, and the outdoor hot tub beckons after sunset.
Generous amenities include free Wi-Fi, an outdoor fireplace, barbecue facilities, laundry service, full security and on-site parking. Of course pets are welcome too!
For those drawn to open sky and movement, the surrounding hills and farm roads are a dreamscape for mountain bikers and hikers alike — all ochre dust, shifting light and endless vistas. Early risers can join a Swartland bird tour and for those who prefer their leisure with a clean swing, Moorreesburg and Piketberg Golf Clubs are a short drive away.
La Belle Vie is a gateway to the rhythms of the countryside. But really, it’s the view from the terrace of rustling eucalyptus, expansive wheat fields and skulking mountains that lingers.
