Stone's Throw Cottage


We had a lovely time at Stone's Throw Cottage. Everything one needs for a relaxing weekend is available in the cottage, and our stay there was very comfortable. The cottage is very neat and clean and very well equipped. It is lovely to be able to walk through the Green Gables gardens too.

Stones Throw Cottage


The cottage was quaint and we had an awesome stay. Water piping hot, pure cotton sheets - everything we hoped for. Thank you.

Our weekend getaway at Stone's Throw


Our weekend was really enjoyable, relaxing, and everything was thought about. My daughter thought it was her new home and really made a big fuss when it was time to leave. We will definitely be back, hopefully soon...and have already told people about it.

Description



Stone's Throw Cottages is the collective name for 2 quirky, luxury self-catering cottages in the beautiful little town of Parys, the "Antiques Capital of the Free State". Both cottages are part of the Green Gables Estate, and are situated in lush and beautiful gardens with access to the sparkling pool at Green Gables. A 2-minute walk will get you to a beautiful part of the Vaal River.

The first Cottage, "Stone's Throw" has been decorated as a fisherman's cottage, with Art Deco touches in honour of the town's "antiquing" theme. It has a lovely bedroom with a double bed and bathroom with bath and shower en suite. The living area is spacious, with a day bed for an extra guest (or child), the full bouquet DSTV, dining area and small kitchen with all the mod cons. French Doors open onto a huge covered "stoep", complete with comfy patio furniture and Weber barbecue. Perfect for lazy summer days or late afternoon socializing after a day of fishing for yellows on the Vaal or hunting for antiques in the town's many shops.

The 2nd Cottage, "Last Tango" has been decorated with a tongue-in-cheek French twist and is newly renovated. It offers exactly the same as Stone's Throw, but the main bedroom boasts a Queen Sized bed and there is a 12-seater table with seating on the patio. It has a shower over the bath in the spanking new bathroom. Just like Stone's Throw, it offers full bouquet satellite TV.

The cottages are rented out un-serviced, but service can be booked at an additional fee.
