The cottage opens onto a private patio with an outdoor dining table, built-in braai facilities, a cosy seating area, and a patio swing. Leading from the patio is a private garden boasting a KolKol wood-fired hot tub.

The property boasts a flourishing vegetable garden that supplies the guest house and restaurant, offering guests a chance to indulge in fresh and organic produce. The on-site restaurant is open for lunch on Saturdays and serves delicious meals. Additionally, guests can order braai baskets, cheese boards, or other meals to be enjoyed in the comfort of their cottage.
