Description

Escape to our charming thatched-roof guest house, a perfect blend of authentic Free State warmth and quiet luxury, tucked away on the reserve. This spacious three-bedroom retreat comfortably accommodates up to eight guests, offering a serene home-away-from-home feel. The master bedroom features its own private en-suite bathroom with both bath and shower, while the other two well-appointed bedrooms share a neat bathroom equipped with a full bath and shower —ideal for families or small groups. At the heart of the house lies a fully equipped kitchen, complete with stove, oven, fridge, and all the essentials for preparing hearty meals or simple braais. Adjacent is an open-plan living and dining area that flows effortlessly, inviting relaxed evenings by the fireplace or casual gatherings around the table. Step outside from the main bedroom onto a private patio overlooking the lush garden and manicured lawn. Here, you’re treated to peaceful vistas of the grassland stretching toward the large lake (dam) beyond—watch flocks of birds gather at the water’s edge, and most evenings, herds of impala and other antelope wander onto the lawn to graze, creating magical wildlife moments right from your doorstep. The garden itself is a tranquil haven, with shaded seating areas under mature trees where you can sip a sundowner, read a book, or simply soak in the sounds of nature and the expansive Free State sky. The classic thatch roof adds timeless charm and character, enhancing the sense of being immersed in the bush yet with all the comforts of home. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, family celebration, or a peaceful escape after a day of exploring the reserve, our guest house delivers genuine relaxation in one of the most scenic spots between Vrede and Kroonstad.
