I am sitting here in West Wales. having spent the day outside in the sleety rain working away . watching this video is the first time I have wished for the summer days to arrive. Nicole the journey you take us on in your videos is just beautiful. No shouting, no stupid gang signs, just inviting us along for the ride. it is easy viewing that inspires. Also makes me see S Africa for the true beauty it is.
Hey Jamie :) Thanks so much for this lovely comment - I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and I must be honest, reading about the sleety rain made me excited for Winter to come to the Cape. There's a lot of negativity in the world, and especially in South Africa with regards to loadshedding, crime and so forth, so sometimes it's just nice to be reminded that we do live in a special world if we dare spend some time to go off the beaten track!
Just had your video pop up on my You Tube recommendations here in Northern Ireland as I watch other videos from SA and was delighted to watch the drive from CT to Rawsonville , my friends live in Worcester and I travel that route every 2 years since 1990, it brings a smile to my face!!!! One of my friends got married in Rawsonville so I must visit the Trout farm on my next visit. Thanks again.
Oh no ways - it's a beautiful part of the world. Most definitely, you have to pop in there for a night or two next time you head up to Worcester, you won't be sorry!
Ahh, this is crazy... I put up the shade sails at those pods. I love that place! It's so beautiful. Never thought I would see my sails on UA-cam ha ha. Great video!
Of you would carry on with the gravel road after you pass the gate with the code, you get to Stetteinskloof dam which supplies Worcester with water. The metal pipe along the toad was put up there by my dad. Ive been going to Stetteinskloof with my dad since I was a kid.
It's 2022 and me and a dear friend are thinking of building container homes as young black south Africans in Durban South Africa 🇿🇦, I will follow and watch all your other content
ahw, this was so relaxed to start the day, wake up with coffee and watch your travel vlog! really chill! nice drone shots nicole! And the nature over there looks beautiful and peaceful! Thanks for sharing, looking forward to your next video!
Nicole, haven't watched in over a year. This was one of the best edited and scored videos I've ever seen. Nice work. What is the music you played. Its awesome and thanks for using it.
Hi Patrick :) Welcome back & a big thank you! Sure, it is by a guy called Cody Francis via Epidemic Sound. I love all of his music - it's so road trip worthy!
@@travisjae1775 Sounds like an exciting trip that you have lined up! Sure, I'm not entirely sure what type of info that you are looking for, but some recommendations of places to go/see would be Cape Town (and Western Cape), do Swartberg Pass and then link up with the Garden Route, definitely do a safari if you haven't done one (I'd recommend Kruger for self-driving) followed by driving The Panarama Route, do some hikes in the Drakensberg if you're wanting to do some activities, visit the Cederberg. Sho, the list is endless.
Wow amazing video.I would like to buy a farm one day but I always just wonder,on a scale of 1-10 How safe is it?Can you please share a bit of advise.I would appreciate it a lot.
Hey Nicole.... I stopped watching for a while (got a grown up job in the big city). Just wanted to say I’m glad you’re here and still making beautiful content. I missed your vibes. I remember many late nights working with your voice in the background (probably helped save my lap top from getting thrown out a 30th floor window). Thanks for fighting the good fight.
What a beautiful comment :) In hindsight, I'm really glad that you didn't throw your laptop down 30 floors - that would have sucked to put it lightly. And I'm stoked that I could be a part of the reason for you not throwing it down, haha! I hope working in the big city is treating you well and thanks for checking back in :) x
Hi Nicole, thanks for the video, loved the personal touch. I live in Mauritius, as beautiful as it is I miss the open spaces of SA. How many containers are there in a pod please?
Howzit, gee wiz, Loving your content Nicole, makes me feel homesick every time! Ex-Capetonian living in Cusco, Peru. We were over in CT for 2 months last August & our 9-year-old daughter tried City Rock & took to it like a fish to water, managed to go about 5 times for 3-4 hours a time during the trip, great place. Next time you are there please tell Vee that Abigail from Peru says hi :) Abbie climbed while we enjoyed cappuchinos & I really liked their chick-pea curry & brownies. I know, I know, we should have done it too...& actually did manage to get 3 steps off the ground ;) We'll be back!
Hey Mike & Abigail :) Thanks for watching and sorry about the homesickness :/ Wow, Cusco - that's quite a big change. How are you enjoying it there? Sho, its crazy how quickly kids take to adventurous sports, I think their lack of fear is probably the reason most of the time, but we so often see little nippers just cruising up and down the walls while we are flailing about. We're pretty new so we don't know the staff all that well yet, but if I meet Vee, I'll definitely pass on that message! Thanks for watching and for your comment - sending you warm wishes from Cape Town :)
Lamin Touray There’s little to no signal, but the pod does have Wi-Fi :) So we managed to get a little work done in the morning, and then the rest of the trip we were without phone which was amazing!
Tilly Wilks He works in the fruit export trade, with their company mainly focusing on citrus and grapes :) So his markets that he manages are Singapore, Malaysia and China (hence my trips there last year to visit him) :)
Haha - for some reason Afrikaans language rules dictate that one concept is spelt as one uninterrupted word. The breakdown for you - "du Toit" is a surname of French origin, "kloof" means a gap between mountains and "pas" is obviously a pass. So the pass is named after a gap between two mountains which was named after some French dude. In South Africa we have a place named "Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdoodgeskietfontein" which translates to "Spring where two buffaloes were shot very dead with one shot"!

Haha no ways! Well, they were some pretty great shade sails 🏕

Nice one Nic, The Cape Landscape looks out of this world... heck i should move there... Lol. Cheers!.
Thanks George. We're pretty spoilt between the ocean and mountains - so we try and make the most of it when we can!
It's 2022 and me and a dear friend are thinking of building container homes as young black south Africans in Durban South Africa 🇿🇦, I will follow and watch all your other content
I wish you well. South Africans need affordable housing

Henry Rodriguez Haha, I second this :)

Can I just admit, I'm jealously inlove ❤️❤️
Beautiful landscape... Now for the sharing of the land.
Those views are jaw-dropping!
It’s a great spot 🙌🏼
We'll be visiting S.A. in 2022. Flying in to Joburg and driving throughout. Hopefully one day to buy a home there. Any info would be appreciated.

Hi Nicole, thanks for the video, loved the personal touch. I live in Mauritius, as beautiful as it is I miss the open spaces of SA. How many containers are there in a pod please?
Hi Arthur :) I'm glad that you enjoyed it. There were 3 containers altogether (one for each room & en-suite) and one for the lounge/kitchen area.
How does one go about buying nice remote land in SA? Seems quite difficult!
Holy smokes! That’s stunning!!!
Wow! Die plekkie lyk fantasties! 😊
I can do drawings for you for your guest room! Cant believe I stay so close to this getaway place.
STUNNING!!!!
Great vlog as always Nics!! ❤️
Beautiful Drone Shots! Beautiful Place!
Thanks Patrick - it really was a special place!
Absolutely beautiful place especially during this pandemic.
This spot is still one of my top places to visit near Cape Town :)
This is amazing. That's the life right there. Mzansi
Ahhh! So jealous! 😩 Absolutely love this Nicole! 👏🏼
Thanks Evann :)
Gooooooood. Wish there was something like this where I live.
Whereabouts do you stay? :)

8:20 - It’s so cute how Blair calls my room ‘the guest room’
Awkward, cause I've tried to correct him so many times. Anyway, Maeve the Plant is still thriving.
Your every video is wowwwww2. I'm speechless
Thank you so much :)
Nice ! Beautiful Nicole...Salutations from France !
jj schäck Thank you :) I’m glad that you enjoyed it!
Man, do I love those mountains!!
5:07 - Anyone knows what's the name of the music?
Hello from Cambodia 🇰🇭❤️❤️🙏🏻
It does look scandy
Great content 👍
Thanks so much :)
Beautiful Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching :)
Which company did they use to build this container ?
I know you normally don't get asked this, but how much was it per night, on the website. It did not show the price?
Hii Nicole
Your farm is good
Thanks to you for seeing us your property.
👍👍
Hello, as a foreigner, where can I buy land without yearly property taxes, building permit, and zoning? What are some places? Who should I contact?
Beautiful
wow this is inspiring
Must try go to this one , let me watch now to know where it is
JOVENCHI K Awesome! It’s in Rawsonville, 100% would recommend this but one needs to book ages in advance if you’re wanting to stay over the weekend!
Is there cellular or WiFi coverage there? Looks like to place to visit to get away from everything.
Lamin Touray There’s little to no signal, but the pod does have Wi-Fi :) So we managed to get a little work done in the morning, and then the rest of the trip we were without phone which was amazing!
I want to to try it but as we know SA is not the safest place to be living in a van house or bus for good.
Yeah, for a weekend away this place is great though 👌🏼
Hi Nicole, my mom's surname was also Eddy. :)
Just wondering out of curiosity what Blair does as a job?
Tilly Wilks He works in the fruit export trade, with their company mainly focusing on citrus and grapes :) So his markets that he manages are Singapore, Malaysia and China (hence my trips there last year to visit him) :)
Nice
el lugar parece mucho a Real de Catorce en México :)
woow proudly south african
Wow absolutely stunning. I've been passed rawsonville many times. Must go look at this site. It's beautiful. Hope u enjoy your 2 days. Xx
Mary Ross I’ve also passed it so many times however have never driven through there. And it’s pretty close to Cape Town which is great!
For some reason, I feel like Blaire is from Jo'burg. He's got heavy Jo'burg vibez.
Haha, he is from Joburg originally, been in Cape Town for about 5/6 years now. I keep telling him that, but he never believes me 😂
Could get lost in those Mountians for days and nobody would know
Bliksem!
5min into the video, where is the container home??
👍🇦🇪👍
🇿🇦
Really ntswempu
1:02 How would you even begin to pronounce that? #SMH
Haha, they've definitely made it harder by clumping it all together in one word on the sign board!
