A TikTok user gave a tour of The Greenhouse at Fazenda Luxury Retreat and Farm in Swellendam, which she described as a “glass cottage”.
The Tik Tok account called travelology_101 posted the video.
The Greenhouse is in a secluded forest where you can immerse yourself in nature. The open-plan glasshouse with unlimited forest views is ideal for travellers who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and enjoy the company of birds and the sound of the river.
There is an outdoor plunge pool with a sun deck.
