The Cottages are set in the tranquil garden, which has an abundance of bird life, all with their own private entrance. We have 5 cottages which suit individuals coming to Makhanda for work, couples visiting their children in boarding and family cottages which have a loft area with 3 single beds, perfect for your children's sleep-outs!!
