In the heart of charming Napier, where the air is scented with roses and the quiet hum of village life drifts on the breeze, you'll find this beautifully restored original cottage -- a place where comfort, charm, and nature entwine.
Recently renovated, the home offers two generous en-suite bedrooms, with French doors that open to private patios, inviting the landscaped gardens in. From every window and doorway, you are met with the poetry of the outdoors -- roses in bloom, fruit and nut trees heavy with promise, and the whisper of leaves stirred by the Overberg winds.
The living spaces flow with ease: a spacious sitting and dining area warmed by a fireplace, and a second lounge, study, or library -- your choice -- with doors opening to yet another leafy corner of the garden. The kitchen is open plan with a separate scullery.
The grounds, designed by a landscape architect, are a tapestry of indigenous plants, vegetable beds, fruit orchards, and meandering paths. Hidden benches, shady nooks, and the gentle music of birdlife and frogs make the garden a world unto itself.
At the back, a verandah with a built-in braai frames sweeping views of the countryside and golden canola hills -- the perfect stage for long, lazy afternoons with friends. A charming storage room nestles into the garden, while water features add to the serene ambience.
Two water tanks, a secure carport, a second storage room, and a separate driveway for visitors complete the practical touches.
Above it all, a large and versatile loft awaits -- a space for creativity, additional living, or simply a retreat under the eaves.
This is more than a cottage -- it is an embrace of the country life, a place to savour each season, and to discover the beauty of slow living in the Overberg.
