Accommodation

Cottage
The cottage is environmentally friendly as it works on solar power with fluorescent bulbs and gas for the fridge / freezer, geezer and stove. The cottage has two rooms – one with a queen size bed and second with two single beds. All the beds of course have cotton percale bedding and towels. Burglar bars have been added for an extra sense of privacy and security for this totally private cottage.

The bathroom and kitchen has been newly done in a rustic earthy undertone with furniture made from brandy oak barrels which adds to the environmently friendly character. The bathroom has a shower and an outside bamboo shower for the naturalist and more adventurous.

The living room with its high beam ceiling and mohair has sofas that are arranged near the fireplace and compliments the relaxed atmosphere of the cottage and its spacious natural surroundings. Romantic lanterns can be used either at the dinner table, swimming pool at night or the outside dining area at the fireplace.

The cottage is under eucalyptus trees which allow it to be cool during the hot summer months. The terrace overlooks the valley and with its hammocks positioned in the trees with panoramic views over the valley it’s the ideal spot for your afternoon siestas. The terrace is also the perfect spot for sundowners or a braai. On the other side of the valley the Oliphants Mountains seems weightless in the haze.

Other visitors to the indigenous Fynbos and succulent rock garden include butterflies, birds (francolins, sugarbirds, barn owls, veroux Eagle, falcons) and dragon flies. The plunge pool and pool loungers are 60m and add to the laid back relax feeling of the farm cottage. The outdoor bamboo hot shower also compliments the natural feeling that the cottage creates. Cool of in the pool or stretch out on a lounger / hammock – the choice is yours.
