Fisaasbos is uniquely situated in the cul de sac of the Tulbagh valley, perched on a hilltop on the slopes of the Groot Winterhoek mountains with one eye on the valley below. The farmhouse was built in 1941, its thatched "multi-rondawel architectural style quite unusual in these parts. The house retains most of its original features (doors, windows, light fittings and switches, with the mid-century kitchen stealing the show. But, it is the giant oak, pecan, plane and gum trees, the bird song, the fynbos and farm trails, and the 270 degree mountain views (close enough to touch, it seems) that will leave you with that lingering Fisaasbos-feeling.
