Waterbessiebos Cottage

 
 

Description

Waterbessiebos is a unique, architect-designed, modern timber frame self-catering cottage and is two metres above the ground and surrounded by indigenous bush. Rest assured; the cottage is securely fenced in.

It is equipped with a queen-size bed and a bunk bed, and can sleep three people. The cottage features an open-plan set-up, with a fully equipped kitchen, breakfast nook ample cupboards furnished in Matumi; Kiaat wood. Ideally situated as a honeymoon suite, a romantic or a weekend getaway, but also very centrally located to several interesting tourist spots around Tzaneen.

Offering beautiful views of the bush including Water Berry (Waterbessie, Syzygium Cordatum), Matumi (Mingerhout, Breonadia Salicina), Round-Leaved Teak (Dopperkiaat, Pterocarpus Rotundifolius) and other species and ferns. By just sitting on the deck, it is possible to catch a glimpse of the monkeys or see the occasional bushbuck grazing shyly in the bush. Sightings of smaller animals such as meerkat and guinea fowl are also possible, and at night bush babies, muskeljaatkat, porcupine and civets may make their appearances too. You can also watch several bird species from there. For the romantics, you can take a stroll around the magnificent garden and sit under the age-old Matumi trees next to the meandering stream. The splash pool is set among the trees with surrounding wooden decks and not only provides wonderful refreshing times, but also is a beautiful addition for a romantic sun-downer.

Pre-arranged home cooked meals can be ordered and taken on the deck, in the cottage or at the homestead. At a special request, Communal DStv at homestead is available in front of fireplace in winter or in the lounge or stoep, depending on the weather.

We had an absolute wonderful experience. The silence and tranquility was wonderful. The dogs, Buddy and Bella, that visited us at the cottage were very enjoyable.

We have just spent two nights at the most delightful Waterbessiebos Cottage with its unusual architecture, secluded location and charming hosts. This is certainly somewhere we would return to if we revisit South Africa one day.
Perfect getaway
