We are two explorers—two souls who found each other when the time was right, when life had already painted its stories on our hearts, and love arrived as an unexpected yet beautiful adventure. Our journey is one of discovery—not just of new places, but of each other, of the world around us, and of the infinite ways in which love manifests in its purest form. Nature is our sanctuary. It is where we feel most at home, most alive, and most connected—to ourselves, to each other, and to something greater than us. Whether beneath a canopy of trees, beside a gently flowing river, or standing in awe of the endless sky, we find peace in the simplicity and grandeur of the natural world. There, in the stillness, we listen, we learn, and we fall in love again and again. Our hearts beat for beauty—not the kind found in extravagance, but in the raw, untouched splendor of life: the way morning light kisses the earth, the warmth of a shared meal, the laughter carried on the wind. We believe in good food, in the joy of breaking bread with loved ones, in the richness of a perfectly poured glass of wine, and in the magic of experiencing something for the very first time. Wynand is the visionary—the dreamer who sees beyond what is and imagines what could be. Bernadine is the realist, grounding us in the present, making the impossible possible. Together, we strike a delicate balance between wonder and wisdom, between aspiration and action. We are happiest when we are in nature—where we meet, where we connect, where love is effortless and time stands still. Our journey is not just about places seen, but moments felt—where love, adventure, and the natural world intertwine, creating something truly extraordinary.

What makes the area around Skaam Cabin truly special is its raw, untouched beauty and sense of total seclusion—without being too far from civilisation. Guests love that within just 90 minutes from Cape Town, they’re transported into a dramatically different world: a private mountain wilderness, surrounded by towering peaks, fynbos-covered slopes, and crystal-clear mountain streams. Skaam Cabin is located in the Mount Bain Private Nature Reserve, part of the larger Limietberg Conservation Area in Bainskloof. It’s a place where nature speaks loudly, and silence is a luxury. The reserve is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its rich biodiversity, endemic flora, and hiking trails that lead to hidden waterfalls and natural rock pools. The nearby Bainskloof Pass, designed by Andrew Bain in the 1800s, is a must-see in itself—one of South Africa’s most scenic mountain drives. For those who venture beyond the cabin, local attractions include: Monks Gin Distillery (10–15 min away) – Sample handcrafted gin in a laid-back, rustic setting. Calabash Bush Pub – A quirky local gem offering drinks and live music on select weekends. Worcester Wine Route – A short drive away, featuring top regional wineries like Klein Nektar, Du Toitskloof, and Bergsig Estate. Historic Tulbagh or Ceres – Perfect for day trips, offering restaurants, museums, and cultural experiences. But truth be told, most guests don’t leave the cabin—because everything they came for is right here: breathtaking views, complete privacy, and the kind of connection only nature can inspire.
