Description

THE VIEW and THE COTTAGE are where guests will enjoy spectacular views across the Albert Falls Dam towards the Karkloof hills. Guests need only to relax and be themselves.

THE VIEW comprises 3 individual en-suite rooms each accommodating 2 persons. Each suite has a private door from the verandah and offers guests a stunning view. For families of 4, we recommend Rooms 2 + 3 which connect via a Jack & Jill bathroom to create a family unit. All rooms have fans, mosquito gadgets, beverage station and fresh water. We provide Guests with linen, towels and shower soap and we cater for our Baby Guests too since they also deserve the full treatment incl a comfy travel cot with mosquito net.

Guests at The View have 24/7 access to Wi-Fi and the shared indoor entertainment area incl a dartboard, full-size snooker table, small library and lounge area with DSTV. The shared kitchen has two fridge-freezers, full gas stove / oven, microwave, toaster, crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils, Nespresso and filter coffee machines (pls bring your own pods/coffee grounds) smoothie maker and upright blender. Built-in gas and wood braais in the undercover patio is perfect in all weather. Pack a swimming costume and enjoy a sundowner around the pool or simply sit and soak up the morning sun or nighttime peace and quiet on your patio.

With THE VIEW immediately next to the Owner's house, there will be minimal interaction between Guests and the awesome Erskine family!

THE COTTAGE is a compact 49m², free standing cottage 150m from The View and can accommodates a maximum of 5 people. Bedroom #1 has 2 single beds and bedroom #2 has a double bed. There's a single bed off the living area being a small open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen nook which is equipped with a 4 plate gas stove (no oven) electric 2 plate stove with small oven, gas and electric kettles, pots, pans and utensils. The hot water works via a gas geyser and pressure pump, so long as there's power. The Cottage does not have Wi-Fi access or TV. Parking is open, but a shed 80m away offers cars and double undercover parking with a power point.

Being a (working) farm, Guests will see a variety of animals, insects, birds, bats, Swallows and Barn Owls who frequently nest or roost under roof. We prefer not to evict these roof dwellers as they are part of our establishment and immensely beneficial to our environment, but we make every effort to minimise them near our Guests. 😉

A non-fenced swimming pool is available to The View's Guests, but everybody under the age of 12 or who are non-swimmers must be accompanied and strictly supervised by an adult who can swim. The snooker table is great entertainment but has an age restriction of 16

Looking forward to welcoming you 🏡🦒
