The unit is spacious and homely. We had a very comfortable stay. The Umgeni river walkway is a stone throw away. The area is quiet and relaxing. It is highly recommended.

About this space Welcome to Dayspring Cottage, a peaceful haven in the heart of the KZN Midlands. Set in a lush garden close to scenic river walks, this upmarket, two-bedroom cottage offers space, comfort, and style — the perfect base for a relaxing getaway. The cottage features two ensuite bedrooms — one with a queen bed, the other with two single beds — ideal for couples, friends, or families. The open-plan living area is light and inviting, with comfortable seating, tasteful décor, and everything you need to feel at home. Step outside to enjoy the patio and braai area, surrounded by greenery and birdsong — perfect for laid-back evenings or morning coffee in the fresh country air. Located just minutes from Howick’s shops, cafés, and Midlands Meander attractions, Dayspring Cottage offers the best of both worlds: peaceful country charm with easy access to great restaurants, nature trails, and local craft experiences.
I was born in the early 80's. I am married to Theuns for 20 years. I am a busy mom. I have worked in various Christian ministry roles alongside my husband. I produced the documentary "The Threatened Miracle of South Africa's Democracy" available on YouTube. I studied art. I like playing pickle ball. I love the beautiful surroundings and community where we live.
Greendale Park, Howick is a beautiful neighbourhood right on the Midlands meander. 5 Minutes away from Midmar Dam and 15 minutes from Hilton College and St Annes. Many restaurants, walking and cycling trails in the area and within walking distance from a Padel Court. Grocery stores, chemists, gift shops, thrift shops and the Lenmed Hospital is all within a 5 km radius. There is a lovely 4km river walk along the Umgeni river on the doorstep of Dayspring Cottage.
