Chameleon cottage
Gecko cottage
Agama cottage
No electricity, no TV, no rush. Just you, your partner and nature.
Agama Cottage is situated on a hilltop with a magnificent view of the Magalies Mountains and Naauwkloof. The inside has wooden floors, a huge bath with a view and a built in fireplace with couch. Agama now has an outside shower with a view of the mountain!
As there is no electricity, hot water is supplied by a solar geyser ( no sun - no hot water). We supply a cooler box with ice, as well as hot water in flasks on request.
Chameleon House is situated 200m from the main farmhouse.
It has a magnificent, panoramic view of farmland, and the perfect seating to enjoy it from; while nursing a sundowner!
The feeling of the cottage is distinctly old fashioned, and it has a peaceful charm all of its own. The main cottage has one double bedroom, a kitchen/dining area and bathroom. There is another bedroom on an outside corridor, with an adult size bunk bed and separate single bed.
For those who want to cook for themselves, this cottage can be self catering OR catered. Try your hand at baking bread in our wood-burning stove, or have a leisurely braai. The cottage is equipped with a gas-fridge, solar water heating and solar lighting.
For children, the accommodation at Chameleon cottage offers the chance to help with farm experiences like gathering eggs, feeding baby goats and ducklings, and jumping on hay bales. Stephen might even be convinced to take them for a spin on the tractor trailer!
The cottages are only serviced on request at an extra cost of R50.00 per occasion.

Gecko Cottage is surrounded by acacia bush and grassland, has an indoor fireplace, a charming Victorian bath and a Bokmakierie that might knock on your window in the morning. This cottage has a truly magical atmosphere and can be reached by most vehicles. Do remember that we are 3 km from the tar road .
The outside couch is ideal for lazy sun-downers or simply reading a book in peace. Find the small labyrinth just down the hill, or sit by the outside fire till late at night.
The cottage has solar water heating, and we provide firewood. We can cater for a braai at this cottage during summer months as long as there is low veld-fire risk. In winter no outside fires can be allowed. Just like Agama, we provide a cooler box and hot water in flasks as there are no other cooking facilities.
