In 1980 the Rattray family bought Fairview, a 68 acre headland at The Crags, between Plettenberg Bay and Natures Valley, on the south Cape coastline. Here Peter and Gillian built the most elegant home for their retirement and set about making a garden of some renown and it was here that Gillian wrote two of her books, A Cape Country Chronicle and In a Country Garden.
David and Nicky Rattray have recently taken over this property. From November 2005 Fairview will be available on a bed and breakfast or self catering basis.
The house has 3 bedrooms. Downstairs is the master bedroom, with en suite bath and shower, opening onto a private veranda. The family suite, consisting of 2 bedrooms with a shared bathroom (shower), is upstairs. Please note that the stairs are steep and not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties! A fully equipped kitchen forms part of an open plan sitting room with fireplace, and a deep covered veranda leading off the formal sitting room has a spectacular view.
All linen, beach towels and pool towels provided.
