Hillside cottage can accommodate up to 8 guests, and a spacious, covered patio with outdoor furniture and braai facilities welcomes guests to the home. Double patio doors lead into the comfortable lounge, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, and a TV with a compact DStv package. The lounge leads into a large dining room and an open-plan kitchen. The fully self-catering kitchen is equipped with a fridge with freezer, a dishwasher, washing machine, oven and stove, microwave, kettle and toaster. There is a downstairs bedroom with twin beds and a separate downstairs toilet, hand basin and shower. A flight of stairs leads to the upper level of the house, where the main bedroom with a queen-size bed is situated. The third bedroom with 4 single beds allows for large family groups. In between the bedrooms, there is a second bathroom with a toilet, hand basin and bath. All linen and towels are provided, and every bed has extra blankets and an electric blanket for those cold nights.
Good day, I am the proud owner and manager of Hillside Cottage and I would love to make your stay at Hillside one of your most enjoyable and unforgettable visits. This is a place where you can feel at home and also a home filled with love and attention to detail. Become part of the Hillside family and I hope to see you in the near future. Hillside greetings, Lynette Ehlers
