Overview
Our selfbuilt cob house stands on the north-west corner of the junction of Maynard and Watson Roads in Muizenberg.
We are now up and running with (as far as we know) the first organic B&B in Cape Town - organic food, natural fibre furnishing - in a very organic and eco-friendly dwelling. A double room exists with the possibility of more bed space for a family of four.
The whole house is also available at certain times for holiday lets (e.g. in December).
Cob workshops happen more or less monthly for the public and by prior arrangement with private groups. People are always welcome to come and have a look at the place at other times.
