A charming cottage with two bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms. The Cosy is in a secure and private position close to the farmstead. The colonial style cottage with its 1930s furnishings and bric-a-brac invokes a refined era when tea was sipped from delicate china and sherry poured from glass decanters.
The kitchen is equipped with a fridge/freezer, microwave and electric stove. The spacious open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen area has an elegant ambience and the appeal of an open fireplace.

Snug Cottage
Sleeps 2 + 1 Bathroom | No pets
The Snug is a restored historical Boer Cottage and is the ultimate romantic hide-away for a couple. A natural spring rises on the property and this pure water cascades down a furrow next to ‘The Snug’ so that the tinkling sound of water is a constant backdrop.
The thick stone walls enclose a cosy bedroom with double bed and open fireplace leading onto a compact kitchen and dining nook with a fridge/freezer, stove, electric frying pan and microwave oven. The adjoining bathroom has a Victorian bath with shower. The furnishings are all in keeping with the era.
The veranda overlooks a verdant vegetable garden with trailing vines as well as the nearby dam and the distant rolling hills. Baskets of kindling and flowerpots all add to the charm. Barbeque on the covered veranda whilst enjoying the magnificent night sky and the sounds of nature.
