Our country style self-catering accommodation comprises five beautifully furnished cottages that sleep between 4 and 6 people as well as a special communal entertainment unit that sleeps 20 people with the necessary facilities to host large gatherings. You can put your feet up at one of the cottages, opt to connect with friends or family at Eagle’s Eyrie or book the entire venue. The cottages are located on the lower guest accommodation terrace, lined with majestic pin oak trees and overlooking a bubbling creek. Each cottage offers privacy with a vine fronted walled veranda, and is also within comfortable walking distance for groups or families relaxing together.

As the name implies, Eagle’s Eyrie refers to the nest built by an eagle high in the mountains. Located on the upper guest facilities terrace, it features a majestic view of the Helderstroom valley. The lower Cottages terrace is within walking distance from Eagle’s Eyrie, with about 100 meters from the closest and 170 meters from the furthest cottages. This venue and its amenities are ideal for group-based self-catering gatherings. Facilities include accommodation for up to 20 people in two dorm-style rooms, a large fully equipped kitchen, braai area and fire pit, function hall comfortably seating up to 80 guests, a lounge/bar area to socialise and relax, and a small pool. Eagle’s Eyrie, including all its available facilities, must be booked as a single unit. This ensures privacy and exclusive use for guests who booked the venue if there are other guests in the Cottages.
