Following a career in the offshore financial services sector Matt and his wife Katrin packed their bags in search of a simpler, more sustainable life connected with the natural world.
They stumbled across the hidden gem that is Magoebaskloof and by sheer luck (some might call it fate) acquired the Owl Cottage and Farm in 2022.
Together with their two children they have created a warm and welcoming farmstead that is the perfect antidote to the stresses and strains of the modern city lifestyle they left behind… and they can’t wait to share it with you!
Owl Cottage & Farm is a working Farmstead set on a modest 4ha on which you will find ducks foraging amongst the avocado trees whilst Samango Monkeys playfully swing through the indigenous forest that covers a large portion of the property.
If you are lucky you may encounter a flock of endangered Cape Green Parrots that frequent the farm to gorge themselves on Pecans.
Watch the sunrise over the majestic Magoebaskloof Valley or gather around the firepit on a perfectly still evening and experience the simple pleasures that life has to offer.
