Bushwillow Cottage - Sleeps 7
Bushwillow is a two storey cottage, with lovely views out over our new game area. It is our newest cottage, and has been designed to provide a rather special experience for our guests, and to enable them to enjoy the best of the bush experience. Downstairs it has a large stoep with plenty of room for a family. It has lovely views towards the sunset, and nearby braai facilities. Inside, it has a large open plan living/dining/kitchen area. It also has one large bedroom with an Emperor bed and a single, en-suite to a shower room. Upstairs is the master bedroom, designed to have views out over the veld, a sense of space, and an en-suite with a slipper bath. On the second storey there is also a mezzanine level, again with splendid views out over the veld. The mezzanine has two full size sofa beds with very comfortable bed mattresses. This can either be used as an upstairs living room, or as an extra bedroom. Bushwillow is set in its own arboretum, composed of a mixture of bushveld trees, such as the Bushwillow, from which its name derives, and some exotics, such as Jacarandas. It is a small distance away from the other cottages, providing privacy, and yet the pool and other facilities like on-site activities are still easily accessible.
Butterfly Cottage - Sleeps 2 to 4
Butterfly Cottage was the first construction project of Anthony Baber. He made it for him and his bride, before he went on to build world famous lodges. It is a beautiful thatched cottage with a large open plan living/dining/kitchen area, one double bedroom and a bathroom. There are two sofa beds in the living area for use if required. Butterfly is situated near the pool and has a lovely large braai (barbecue) area where you can sit and enjoy the stunning sunsets.
