Best Tree House in Western Cape - Anna's Country Accommodation, Greyton



If you are looking for wonderfully unique, fantastically delightful, almost fairytale-like Greyton accommodation, escape to Anna's Country Accommodation.

I always wanted to try a Tree-House. When I was on social media, I found a gorgeous old Victorian bath with jungle view pictures on Instagram. I knew immediately I had to try this place. I googled and found Anna’s Country Accommodation website. It is in Greyton, a 1 hour and 45 minutes drive away from Cape Town. I contacted her on WhatsApp and she sent me two gorgeous videos of the Tree Houses. Surprisingly there is a new Tree House that has been built during the Lockdown in South Africa last year - Tree House Loft.


I booked the newly build Tree House Loft for three nights. It was a surprise vacation for my boyfriend, David. I planned this trip. He didn’t know where we were going. On the day it was pouring in Cape Town, I just put the GPS on so that David can follow the route. He followed the GPS route. We have never been to Greyton before. It was a beautiful scenery east coast route with lots of farm animals. We stopped at Rivieronderend for the most amazing pie and all-bran muffin and chai latte teas at Ou Meul Bakery. We then were en route to the Tree-House.

Greyton is a small town in the Overberg area in Western Cape, South Africa. It has a similar vibe and feelings as Franschoek. There is so much to enjoy about Greyton, the ‘Jewel of the Overberg’. The journey to this tiny hamlet takes you through a patchwork of multi-coloured hills. The village, which lies nestled at the foot of the Rivieronderend mountains, reminds one of the old Europe with tranquil lanes lined by majestic Oak trees. Birdlife abounds and clear mountain streams flow. Horses roam freely in the street. 

The Greyton Village Square is also on your doorstep, where the Saturday morning market is held, famous for homemade cheese and country produce.

When we arrived at 1 Market Street, we met Anna Elisabettini the owner of Anna’s Country Accommodation. She is such a friendly lady and was an amazing host. Anna and Marcello are passionate about blessing others. Be sure to try Marcello's excellent handmade Dolcezze Cheese Straws and it is a welcome gift in every cottage. There are 3 cottages and ever-popular 2 Tree-Houses border a secret jungle, where you will discover a quiet green sanctuary with the sounds of the water, burbles, from the beautiful fountains. The atmosphere of peace and tranquility will make you feel as if you are far away from civilization, yet the hub of quaint restaurants and coffee shops is an only a short stroll away.

We walked through this beautiful jungle. We found the incredible hidden gem, gorgeous tree-house nestled high up among the old oaks, sits a tree-house unlike any other. Specially built to include old oak branches throughout the interior, it has a rustic, yet luxurious feel. It had everything! 

We hiked the next day at the beautiful Greyton mountain close to Boesmanskloof. There are many paths. We chose the short easy path, beautifully and the air is so crisp. It is free to enter. The mountain scenery is spectacular with amounts of Cape Wildflowers and birdlife. Too beautiful to explore!



We absolutely loved every moment of it. Outstanding and extraordinary. Do not miss this hidden gem fairytale-like Tree-House. It is the best therapy for your mind, health, and soul far away from the busy city lifestyle.

A stay at the tree-house is perfect for a romantic break away, to spoil that someone special you love.

ABOUT ME - Pilates Instructor and Miss Deaf South Africa

I was diagnosed as profoundly deaf when I turned 14 months old. It was the late 80's and the ENT specialist told my mom, that I was the deafest person (according to my brainstem audiogram) to be diagnosed. According to doctors and experts, I would never talk. I had a hearing loss of 145 decibels, which means that a Boeing 747 could land behind me, and I would not notice! My mother, Annemarie, resigned from her job as a music teacher and enrolled in a course in Audiology, to reach a language to express myself. Deaf people are immensely frustrated because they have no names for their emotions. My mom used a mirror to show me my anger, happiness, fear, love, etc and taught me words for it these for the first of 4 years of my life, every experience was a language lesson and not an even a picnic or a day at the beach was only an outing, anymore. There were so many words! At this stage, I was wearing Phonak Hearing Swiss which enabled me to hear vowels, but no consonants, amplifie

One of the Best Getaway Places in Western Cape - Buff and Fellow

                                 I saw these luxurious Eco-friendly cabins on social media, on Instagram last year. I told myself I had to try this place with my boyfriend and had to plan our trip. It was a very nice 4 hours long drive through Garden Route from Cape Town. This place is between George and Mosselbay on R102 road, just 10km from George Airport. What a drive, it was a gorgeous drive from sunset to a big bright full moon. It was so bright and orange that we could see everything the trees and the farm hills. We were howling in our car like wolves and laughed. Traffic was super quiet except there were a lot of lorries on the road and we had to overtake so many times. It was a good drive.  We arrived at the Ultreya Farm, it is a family Du Toit Farm, Ultreya is a Spanish word derived from the original Latin meaning "Onward with Courage". It was in common use by pilgrims to greet and encourage people along the way. This farm encourages you to go "Onward!" and

MARISA IS MISS DEAF SOUTH AFRICA FINALIST 2019

“I heard sounds for the first time at the age of 17. It was a life-changing experience to be fully introduced to the world of sounds.” So said Gardens resident, Marisa Smit, who has been selected as a Miss Deaf SA 2019 finalist. Ms Smit was born with a hearing loss of more than 140 decibels and was diagnosed as deaf at the age of 14 months. At this tender age, she said she wore hearing aids but they could only amplify vowels and not consonants, particularly the high-frequency consonants s,t,* and f. “I cried when I heard my own voice for the first time. The clock’s tick-tock, waves on the beach, the wind in my hair, a crackling fire, to the little birds singing in the tree in front of my house. Everything has a voice! What a wonderful world. I invested all my pocket money to hear new sounds,” she said. The big day was June 9 2005 – three weeks after having a cochlear implant at Tygerberg Hospital. This has resulted in her starting her own campaign called “Catc
