Bushbuck often graze near the cottages, and fireflies appear at night. Guests can use the Weber barbecue and the fireplace for cooking or warmth.

Location & Access

The cottages are about 2 km from the N3 freeway, near Lions River. Piggly Wiggly and the new Horse Shoe Bend center are close by. The Midlands Meander routes are easily accessible from the property. Pietermaritzburg Airport is 41 km away. The access road is a gravel road about 1 km long, suitable for regular vehicles but bumpy.

Laundry service is available. Fire extinguishers are provided. Guests can use the outdoor furniture and picnic area. The host provides firewood and supplies like coffee, cooking oil, and rechargeable globes for load-shedding.

Kitchen & Dining

Each cottage has a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, dining table, and cooking utensils. Guests can cook meals and use the barbecue on the terrace. The kitchen is well equipped with quality crockery and pots. Tea, coffee, salt, pepper, and cooking oil are provided as a starter. There is no on-site restaurant or dining service.

“The cottages here make for a genuinely restful retreat, with spacious interiors and a delightful deck and fireplace that invite you to linger. Its serene farm setting is complemented by easy access to the Midlands Meander, and the thoughtful touches, like the complimentary tea station and exceptional cleanliness, truly elevate the experience.”
