Bugler's Cottage

Heritage-Rich Getaway in the Heart of Stanford

Bugler's Cottage captures the essence of Stanford's historical charm with its authentic Cape vernacular architecture. This well-appointed accommodation stands out for its warm, cosy atmosphere that has guests extending their stays beyond initial plans.

Cottage Experience

The cottage blends heritage vibes with practical comfort. Its excellent wood burner makes it perfect for those chilly Overberg winter evenings when the temperature drops unexpectedly. The old-world pergola creates a sheltered braai area that's quintessentially South African – ideal for enjoying a traditional "tjop en dop" (chop and drink) while watching the sunset.

Local Appeal

Stanford locals know winter (June-August) is actually the best time to visit Bugler's Cottage. The wood burner transforms the space into a cosy retreat, and you'll avoid the summer tourist rush that floods the Overberg. The cottage makes an excellent base for exploring Stanford's Saturday morning market or taking a lazy cruise on the Klein River with African Horse Company - Stanford for a different perspective of the village.

Regional Context

While staying at Bugler's Cottage, visitors can easily explore nearby attractions. The cottage is a convenient 20-minute drive to Hermanus for whale watching (July-November), and the Walker Bay wine region surrounds Stanford with excellent wine estates within 10-15 minutes' drive. Don't miss Stanford's renowned food scene, with local restaurants serving farm-to-table cuisine that showcases the region's exceptional produce.

Visitors seeking authenticity will appreciate this accommodation that embodies the relaxed, welcoming spirit that Stanford is known for – a village where time genuinely seems to slow down.
