The setting of Ficus House is gasp beautiful and the surrounding farm, in the Franschhoek valley, has a distinct sense of wilderness under wide skies. Your neighbours are the majestic Simonsberg, endless rugged koppies and crowds of fynbos, and the dinner bell is also sometimes used to shoo off curious baboons. Entertainment is a dramatic all-day dance of light on the layered mountains, while the view from every window is pure art – natural watercolour paintings are wherever you look.
