The accommodation's name, derived from a popular Dutch card game, reflects its emphasis on togetherness and familial warmth. The property offers three distinctively themed accommodations, each inspired by the musical heritage of the Jacobs family. The Flute Cottage, a two-bedroom space, pays homage to the eldest daughter's passion for the flute, while the one-bedroom Yellow Strings and Blue Strings rooms celebrate the twin daughters' mastery of the cello and violin respectively.
The estate features a year-round swimming pool accessible to all guests, with The Flute Cottage offering additional amenities including a private hot tub and barbecue facilities. The Yellow Strings and Blue Strings guests have access to a fully furnished outdoor barbecue area. The property is also home to four alpacas, adding to its authentic farm experience.
The Klaasvoogds Valley itself carries historical significance, named after Klaas Voogds, a Dutch East India Company soldier whose 18th-century adventures are woven into the region's narrative. The valley is distinguished by its stunning mountain views, rolling landscapes, and numerous premium wineries, making it a destination that seamlessly blends historical intrigue with contemporary wine tourism.
This serene retreat stands as a testament to heritage, natural splendor, and warm hospitality, offering visitors an opportunity to escape from everyday life while immersing themselves in the rich culture and vibrant atmosphere of the Western Cape wine region.
