Jess & Aydan Longmore
We would like to introduce you to our special part of the world. Our cottages are situated in the Champagne Valley area of the Central Drakensberg Mountains with spectacular panoramic views of the Champagne and Cathkin Peaks. Ideal for adventurers and honeymooners alike, you can kick back and relax on your own private patio with our famous jacuzzis that boast the best sunset views over the mountains! Reconnect with nature in this solar powered Eden (so no interruptions to your stay) set within breathtaking gardens, and choose from our self-catering two 2-sleeper cottages and one 6-sleeper cottage. We are a proudly family run establishment with a focus on eco friendly stays with a dash of luxury and unparalleled views! Our mission is simple: to provide you with exceptional accommodation, privacy and peace in a magnificent location. Looking forward to hosting you! Jess, Aydan & Cecilia (plus our two dogs, Spritz & Naartjie)
We are a young family consisting of myself, Jess, my husband, Aydan and our daughter, Cecilia and our two dogs Spritz and Naartjie. We love hiking, adore food and value family and friends. Aydan and I met on the yachts in 2015 and fell in love, from there we went on a trip to South Africa to visit his family and I couldn't think of anywhere better to spend the rest of our days! Aydan grew up here in the Valley and so showed me the ropes and all the amazing activities in the area surrounding these beautiful mountains and I was hooked! We got married in May 2023, moved to Ama Casa in May 2024 and had our daughter in August 2024 so a busy few years! We love hosting and meeting g new people and can't wait to meet you!
There are many, many local activities ranging from outdoor sports, hiking, golf, trail running and cycling, horse riding, zip lines, abseiling, to excellent informal restaurants, coffee shops, outdoor dining and including unique experiences like concerts at the world-famous Drakensberg Boys Choir School.
