Autumn is here, which means we're starting to don jerseys and building up our supply of nuts to last the winter. For me this season conjures images of country living with cosy fireplaces and warm drinks. I always want to get inland and enjoy the mountains, see the frost and experience the nature around me.
The cold gives us an excuse to relax and to take some time out to read that book you've been meaning to get to.
Here is a a great, affordable establishment set in the country-side, where you can take some time out to hibernate.

Part wholesome caravan park, part designer farm lodge, Old Mac Daddy Trailer Hotel is a new chapter in adventure, escapism and pure relaxation. Set on the pine-whispering slopes of a beautiful corner of the Elgin Valley, Old Mac Daddy is a collection of vintage Airstream Trailer Suites, each designed by an artist, designer or creative living and working in Cape Town.
Fully catered and serviced; Old Mac Daddy offers trailer units with themed bedrooms and earth-friendly living spaces. A big designer barn is the communal area where all meals are served. Visit the Grolsch bar or take a dip in the swimming pool, explore the area or just relax.
Ten trailers have been transformed into bespoke suites each with its own theme, style and feeling, from the magical to the quirky and a whole range of delicate and wonderful things in between. Heated in winter, cooled in summer and cleverly insulated throughout, you are sure to sleep way past the first cock-a-doodle-doo!
Old Mac Daddy is for anyone who needs a break from the city to breathe in the fresh air, have apple juice run down their chin, swim in the farm dam and spend star-filled nights melting marshmallows over the fire. Come the cooler weather, this is the ideal spot for enjoying a long walk, before curling up in front of the fire.
