Description

Cottage 2 is nestled at the bottom of a large garden filled with birdlife and stunning views towards Golden Gate and of Mount Horeb, creating a tranquil, private setting for a relaxing stay for solo guests or couples looking for a romantic retreat.

The open-plan layout has been thoughtfully designed to maximise guest comfort, despite being compact and cozy. Guests will enjoy quality bedding, electric blankets, heaters, a hairdryer and towels. The bathroom has 2 small steps and a walk-in shower, washbasin, and toilet.

The kitchenette is equipped for basic self-catering and includes a bar fridge, microwave, two-plate stove, cutlery, crockery, pots, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. A small complimentary basket of essentials to get you started is provided, but guests should bring along extras and own preferences.

Guests also have free access to fibre Wi-Fi and the Smart TV and YouTube. Guests can stream other services such as DStv and Netflix using their own login details

Outside, the cottage features an undercover patio with braai/barbeque facilities, a dining table with chairs, perfect for alfresco dining. Secure off-street parking is available under shade-net.
