Forget your worries in this spacious and serene space. Relax in a gorgeous, large cottage with full amenities including solar, so no load shedding and a separate entrance with secure parking. Stylish, vintage inspired décor and an outside veranda to breathe in the fresh country air. The perfect place for digital nomads with a large office and fast ethernet connection. Stay a while and work from home!!
Why I Love What We Do Hosting isn't just a business for me; it’s about the stories shared over a morning coffee and the joy of helping guests discover hidden gems they won't find in a guidebook. Our Local Obsession: I am a huge fan of the outdoors. When I'm not prepping rooms, you’ll usually find me hiking the nearby trails or hunting for the best sourdough or vintage items at the Saturday farmers' market. Creative Spirits: I am a mix of amateur artist and avid gardener, so don't be surprised if you see some of our favorite artworks on the walls or fresh blooms from the backyard in the kitchen. The Best Part: Honestly? It’s seeing you happily head out for the day with a smile and a solid recommendation in hand. We’re here to make sure your trip is as seamless as it is memorable. Get ready for an amazing stay!
An ideal location close to shops but in a quiet neighbourhood approximately 2kms from Kearsney College and 0.5 kms from Highbury Prep. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. A few recommendations would include the Saturday Shongweni Farmers Market, a must for foodies and music lovers, as well as the local Mushroom Farm with many interesting shops and bookstores. Please feel free to ask me if you need any more information about local attractions.
