Magoebaskloof Self Catering Accommodation

The name "Boscobel" holds a unique connection to English royalty, while its roots trace back to the Italian phrase 'bosco bello', meaning 'in the midst of beautiful woods'. During the waning days of the English Civil War in 1651, King Charles II, fleeing for his life, sought refuge at Boscobel House—a structure built around 1632 and situated on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border. The King famously concealed himself in an oak tree on the property (later named The Royal Oak) to evade discovery by Parliamentary soldiers following the Battle of Worcester. This rich history imbues our magnificent self-catering retreat in Magoebaskloof with profound historical significance.

Our cottages proudly house a magnificent oak tree, reminiscent of the regal oak of Boscobel House, bestowing the name "Boscobel" upon our farm and igniting the flames of royal historical imagination.
