La Casita Stanford

Mexican-Inspired Studio Cottage in the Heart of Stanford

La Casita Stanford is a vibrant Mexican-inspired studio cottage located just steps away from La Cantina restaurant, bringing a touch of Mexican flair to this Overberg village. This cosy self-catering accommodation for two offers the perfect base for exploring the surrounding countryside.

Accommodation Features

The studio cottage features an open-plan layout tastefully decorated with authentic Spanish hacienda influences. Inside you'll find:

• A fully equipped kitchenette with load-shedding-friendly amenities
• Living area with couch and dining table
• Designated workspace (perfect for digital nomads)
• Double bed in a recessed area
• Bathroom with shower, basin and toilet
• Smart TV with Netflix
• Air conditioning and heater

The cottage has its private entrance, covered outdoor veranda and braai area - ideal for enjoying those warm Overberg evenings with a glass of local wine.

Pet-Friendly Getaway

Unlike many accommodations in the area, La Casita welcomes well-behaved four-legged friends (for a small additional fee), making it ideal for travelers who don't want to leave their pets behind.

Local Experience

The cottage's location in Queen Victoria Street puts guests within easy walking distance of Stanford's charming village center. The town is small enough to explore on foot, and evening strolls are particularly lovely with fairy lights adorning the streets.

La Casita shares premises with La Cantina, an authentic Mexican restaurant known for delicious burritos, tacos, nachos, quesadillas and chilli con carne. The restaurant is fully licensed with a specialty in margaritas and tequila - locals rave about their frozen margaritas.

Exploring the Area

La Casita serves as an excellent base for exploring both Stanford and the surrounding areas:

• Just 10 minutes from Panthera Africa Big Cat Sanctuary
• 20 minutes from De Kelders and Gansbaai
• Easy access to local wine farms and hiking trails
• Close to the Klein River for kayaking adventures

Practical Information

The cottage operates with seasonal pricing: R1,100 per night from November to April and R850 per night from May to October. There's off-road parking available, and the unit benefits from generator backup during load-shedding when the restaurant is open (closed Mondays and Tuesdays).

Weekends often feature live music at the adjoining restaurant, creating a festive atmosphere that adds to the authentic Mexican experience.
