Sophie Cabin
ABOUT
Welcome to Sophie Cabin, an eco-sanctuary nestled on the hills overlooking the tranquil Breede River Valley, just an hour’s drive from Cape Town and a stone’s throw from Rawsonville. Accessible by a winding dirt road through Kirabo Farm on the Le Roux Estate, this secluded retreat offers a peaceful escape and a chance to reconnect with the natural world.
Sophie is entirely off-grid, powered by solar energy, and designed with sustainability in mind. Seamlessly integrated into the landscape, her soothing yet stylish aesthetic invites you to immerse yourself in nature’s embrace.
Here, time slows down, allowing you to relish quiet moments, gaze at the moon and stars, and reflect on our shared duty to protect the Earth.
