About this property
Family & Couples Retreat with Pool, Firepit & Mountain Views
Designed by parents, for families and couples alike, this luxury bush villa combines five-star comfort with effortless ease, whether you're travelling with children or simply looking for a peaceful escape into nature. Three spacious bedrooms, a heated private pool, and a boma firepit under the African stars, everything is here, and nothing is missing.
As parents ourselves, we know how important it is to have the right facilities when travelling with children, but we've also designed Villa Blaaskans to be a true retreat for couples seeking quiet and space. The children's room sits in its own separate wing of the villa and can be easily closed off, giving couples their own peaceful, private space while still leaving the option open for families to use every room.
This villa combines privacy, style and comfort with all the conveniences guests need for an effortless stay. With 3 bedrooms and space for up to 4 guests, Villa Blaaskans makes your holiday both comfortable and unforgettable, whether it's a family getaway or a quiet retreat for two or four. Set in the best location on the estate, the villa enjoys magnificent, open views across the mountains, unobstructed and uninterrupted, that you won't find anywhere else on the property.
Step inside and feel instantly at home. The villa features three spacious bedrooms, all with air conditioning and fans, ideal for restful naps, quiet evenings, or peaceful nights. The main bedroom is positioned in its own wing, well separated from the other bedrooms, giving couples a real sense of privacy and distance. There are two modern bathrooms, including one with a bathtub, and refreshing outdoor showers that are perfect after a warm day in the bush.
The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances such as a gas stove, oven, fridge, Nespresso machine and microwave. There's also a separate utility room with a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer.
For families, a baby cot, high chair, baby carrier and stroller are ready and waiting, so you don't have to bring your own gear, and the children's room, complete with bunk beds and toys, is tucked away in its own wing and can be closed off with its own door for extra privacy. Couples travelling without kids can simply leave this room shut and enjoy the rest of the villa, and their own separate wing, as a calm, private hideaway surrounded by nature. With excellent fiber WiFi throughout the villa and terrace, staying connected or streaming your favourite shows is effortless.
The heart of the villa is its bright, social living space with a large dining table indoors and another on the terrace, perfect for long, relaxed meals with family or a quiet dinner for two, framed by open, sweeping mountain views. The outside area is a true highlight: a private heated pool, a traditional South African braai (BBQ) and a beautifully situated boma firepit that's perfect for storytelling, or simply taking in the silence and the stars.
You'll enjoy complete peace and quiet, surrounded by nature, with breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the Drakensberg mountains, one of the best vantage points on the entire estate. The villa's layout separates the main bedroom from the guest and children's rooms across different wings of the house, making it ideal for both families and those seeking a calm, secluded escape.
Safety and comfort come first. The villa is fitted with a full backup battery system, ensuring electricity during outages, and the estate is fully secure. And yes, giraffes, zebras and impalas really do walk by your terrace.
Need a little adventure, or just some quiet time in nature? The area offers something for everyone, from wildlife encounters and outdoor exploration for families to peaceful nature walks and slow mornings for those craving stillness, and the Homes of Africa hosting team is happy to help arrange anything you need. Whether it's a boat safari, a visit to a wildlife centre or simply a scenic hike, we've got you covered.
