What to expect from your stay

Charming interior

The cottage boasts an exposed beam ceiling and solid wood floor, creating a background for vintage style.
Sink into the embrace of a queen-size bed with luxurious pure cotton bedding, ensuring restful nights.

Modern kitchen

There is a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, a gas hob, an airfryer, a toaster and a microwave — catering for every culinary need. A welcome pack of tea, coffee and rooibos will be waiting to refresh you.

Spacious bathroom

The spacious bathroom has a large walk in shower with both  overhead and handheld shower heads. The hot water comes from a gas geyser so that even in load shedding there will be hot water. 

Relaxation

Unwind in the lounge, where comfy wingback chairs invite you to chill in front of the TV. Or sway gently in the hanging chair, sipping your favorite drink.

Beautiful garden

During the day, sit in the shade of the dogwood tree. In the evening, have a braai or light a fire in the firepit. See the garden in its fairy light splendour. 

Security

The area is patrolled by several security companies and the cottage itself is fully secured.  The pathway to the cottage is well lit at night. So no security concerns for guests.
