I had the chance to have a stroll around the lovely garden at the cottages a couple of days ago snapping photos - here's some of them for you to have a look at! Everything is fresh, clean and sparkly after the rains, and it is really very relaxing and park-like. Such perfect Nyanga weather with the mist and low cloud --- ideal for cozy evenings around the fireplace!
The garden is shared between Cottage # 1 (thatch) and Cottage # 2, but there are private spaces at each: # 1 has a lovely area just outside the cottage facing away from the other cottage with a view over the farm and into the distance with a table and chairs, and another concrete table and bench set under a tree near to this, and a gazebo with table and chairs and a braai that overlooks the dams. # 2 has an elevated deck off the lounge with a table and chairs with a lovely view over the garden and up to the mountain that is screened from # 1, and just off the deck a gazebo with a braai. If you are staying in one of the cottages and no one is occupying the other cottage, then you are welcome to make use of both gazebos and the garden.
Contact me on whatsapp 0778393777 and I'll happily send you an info-sheet with everything you need to know about these lovely self-catering holiday homes, and photos of the interior of the cottages.
Beautiful rain...mist....warm fires....! That's the "Wind and the Rain"....
