Nestled away from the road and just off the famous Helderberg Nature Reserve sits a serene location you are sure to love. Whether you are here for golf, mountain biking, wine touring, business or simply to experience the beauty of this amazing location, “On-Upper Mountain” is a gem to experience. This one-bedroom apartment has a lovely en-suite bathroom with spacious shower, separate lounge/kitchen opening on to a private patio which overlooks the garden, blue-gum forest and stretching to False Bay and the Hottentots-Holland mountains. Beauty and peace are hallmarks of this location and your host Carmel will be glad to advise you on the many local treasures which include Erinvale, Lourensford, Vergelegen and all the winelands has to offer to Stellenbosch and beyond.
