My first time staying in Greyton I had an utterly terrifying experience. 🐄 It was just my daughter, Rosa, then a toddler and I. As a single mum and seasoned traveller I’m whatever the opposite of a scaredy cat is, so being in a strange house, just the two of us, was a non-issue. We`d finished watching Nemo for the gazillionth time and were having a cuddle before bedtime when my daughter pipes up `Mummy, I can hear somebody in the garden`. `Probably just the wind in the trees darling` I reassured her... but I could hear it too... and it sounded like not one, but several somebodies. Then the heavy breathing started, and I mean really heavy. To say I was freaked out is an understatement. I went in search of outside light switches, hoping to scare the somebodies off. Having found a torch, checked all the doors were locked and my phone was on standby to call the police, I shone it on... three cows.

Now I`m sorry, but I`m from England and in England we have cows and we have villages, but we don`t combine them. People live in villages, cows live on farms, end of story. Horses too... farms. And while I find it utterly charming that Greyton allows both to free-roam, had I actually HAD heart failure that night I might feel differently!

But Greyton is awash with charm... beautiful country gardens, a Saturday market with pony and trap rides for the children, an annual Rose Fair. And Greyton Forest House is similarly charming with a side order of style and the super owners have truly thought of everything possible to make your stay effortless. My best is its huge, well-appointed kitchen opening right up onto the comfy stoep complete with pizza oven, pool and mountain views. It`s a ten-minute meander to the village where there are plenty of interesting wee shops to potter around. Once the pottering`s given you a thirst head to Old Potter`s Inn for a craft beer and ice-cream for the kiddywinks. The perfect weekend escape.
Now what IS the opposite of a scaredy-cat?

Little getaway this past weekend to Bokrivier Cottages just outside Greyton. Such a tranquil environment where Jaime could sketch, Faith could explore, and I could take photos! It felt like we had applied brakes to the hamster wheel we on!
