Springwater Cottages

Springwater Cottages are set on the southern edge of our valley and is located west of Ficksburg. Guests are afforded stunning views over the different crops including maize, wheat and sunflower, as they mature with seasonal change. Sunrise greets you every morning over the hills and our legendary sunsets are surreal.

The accommodation offered is rustic casual luxury. We have 3 cottages, which can accommodate up to 4 people each, in comfort. The cottages are well appointed with cutlery, crockery, cooking and refrigeration. We do not have television. We use only Ember Down goose down duvets and 400 Thread count linen. Efficient wood stoves ensure that fireplace warmth and comfort on cold, snowy and rainy days are provided. As an added bonus you will have the opportunity to bathe in pure spring water. Our water is soft and sweet, tested by the UOVS and declared awesome, well they stated it is safe to drink, clear of any contaminants and of excellent quality, we think it is awesome.

This is a place to slow down, catch your breath again and revive your soul. Nothing has been shot on this farm since 2007, so our small game and birds are tame enough to observe easily: we are about peace and quiet. However, should you feel the need to speed up your blood flow, we have wonderful walks, stunning running and beautiful biking trails.

As dusk settles, you are almost guaranteed to be notified of such by a chorus of jackal as the different packs check on each other. Our evenings here are the energy drinks for the soul. Slow sundowners lead to companionable braais and satisfying dinners.

We have 3 cottages, each can accommodate a max of 4 adults. Each cottage have a fully equipped kitchenette with a large fridge/freezer combo. A breakfast/dinner table for 4 in the kitchen forms part of the open plan arrangement with the lounge area.
