STAY
Framed by the Maanschynkop Mountains in South Africa’s beautiful Western Cape, mellow Coot Club (3) is just the ticket for a nature-centric family getaway. Timber-clad boathouses and characterful stone cottages – some with firepits for marshmallow toasting – lie between the milkwood grove and the lagoon, with heaps of space for youngsters to run riot. Whether you’re throwing yourselves into kayaking and fat-biking or slowing down with birdwatching and leisurely swims, this idyll hits all the right notes.
