From high on Bluff Hill, make your way down a long driveway past a jasmine-hung fence to this cosy little wooden cabin for two. Dutch owners have infused the cottage with vintage Euro-caravan style: if you must leave, there's a little deck to sit on outside with leafy valley views. Minimum two-night stay. Breakfast is served in the main house.
