The Log Cabin Lodge, Stellenbosch, Western Cape
Nestled between the various wine farms, vineyards and mountains of Stellenbosch is The Log Cabin Lodge. This accommodation establishment prides itself for having among the most breath-taking views in the area – over the beautiful vineyards, fruit farms and landscapes of Stellenbosch.
The Log Cabin Lodge was built in 2001 and has been the subject of many great stories and unforgettable experiences. Altmann Allers, the owner of Louisvale, granted a chance to a young entrepreneur to carry out his vision of creating something truly unique in the Boland Winelands, who turned a wooden building into one of the highest rated establishments in the Stellenbosch area within a period of one year.
It was bought by a group of four friends in 2010 that still run it to this day. The lodge is perfect for business, leisure and families, and was designed to make it feel like a home away from home!
