The Cottage at Baker's Kop

This is a delightful, self-catering stone cottage located on a working dairy farm, ideally situated for stopovers or to use as a base from which to explore the Northern Drakensberg, Clarens, Golden Gate, and the Eastern Free State.

It is set on a farm next to an excellent tar road 10 km from Harrismith, so visitors do not have to travel on long, bumpy farm roads to reach the cottage. The cottage is spacious and charmingly furnished with a fully-equipped kitchenette with microwave, small stove, fridge, and barbecue facilities. It sleeps two in a queen-size bed with an electric blanket and a luxurious down duvet with quality bed linen. The large living area features a cosy fireplace for winter nights.

The farm has lovely views and walks, and there are numerous activities to be enjoyed in this scenic area, from tree top canopy tours to abseiling, rock climbing, horse riding, 4x4 trails, hiking, cycling and mountain biking, rowing, fishing, sailing, bird-watching and much more.

The farm nestles at the foot of a landmark mountain called Baker's Kop, and has excellent access on tar roads to Clarens, Bethlehem, Kestel, Phutadijaba, QwaQwa, Harrismith, Golden Gate, Sterkfontein Dam, Oliviershoek Pass, and the Drakensberg.
