Buchan Estate is a country estate offering accommodation in thatched cottages with high beamed ceilings, tranquil views and furnished with touches of Africa. Set in three acres of paddocks and gardens, the estate is surrounded by mountains and trees with the Disa River running through the property.

With the emphasis on relaxation, privacy and nature there are only three cottages and each one enjoys uninterrupted views of the mountains surrounding Hout Bay. All have a private patio, modern fitted kitchen, TV, DVD, satellite and are fully serviced. In addition, each cottage has wireless Internet access. For a romantic getaway our honeymoon cottage has a king size four poster bed, sweeping mosquito nets and African stone bath. A conference room is also available with antique mahogany furniture, original artworks and paintings.

Guests are free to roam and explore the extensive grounds and enjoy full use of the heated saline swimming pool and sauna. In the evenings enjoy a drink by the river banks and see the host of bird life at home in our grounds.

The three cottages are all private and secluded and enjoy uninterrupted views of the mountains and river. All three have full kitchen facilities including oven, microwave, fridge, and modern appliances. Each one enjoys its own private patio area with garden furniture and a braai (barbecue) is available.
