Back in the day Robertson was famous for its luxurious, extravagant and frankly rather delectable ostrich feathers. You see, between the 1880s and the First World War they were the height of fashion across the world. Their value per pound almost equal to that of diamonds. Which made them the currency you wanted in your pocket for sure. A single plume was a bounty, enough to buy you a ticket from Cape Town to London. But then there was war, the elite turned their back and in a flash ostrich amour was over. Oh the shame. From glittering fashionista to feather duster. It wasn't great for the local farmers either. Until they turned their attention to their vines... and boy was that a good call. The Robertson Wine Valley now makes up a section of the longest wine route in the world, Route 62. And Mo And Rose At Soekershof is right there, in Klaasvoogds West.

You can either stay in a room in the former farmhouse or a 'maisonette' in the cottage.

There are 6 rooms in the former farmhouse. All en-suite with private patio and decorated in a modern, contemporary style. Four Garden rooms with king sized beds and two Pool rooms. Pretty self explanatory, with the Garden rooms you get a good view of the... wait for it.... garden - and the Langeberg Mountains thrown in for good measure. With the Pool rooms you get a private pool as well as a splendid view. Garden Room 4 has underfloor heating in the bathroom as does Pool Room 5. The latter also has twin beds. Garden Room 1 only has a shower.

The cottage is a funky affair. Two split level rooms, like little maisonettes. They have a staircase leading up to an open plan bedroom. Seriously, don't contemplate these if you're a bit doddery or you know you get too hyper and silly after a night out. These need to be navigated with serenity.
