Homestead Lake Cottage is unique in the sense that it is the first accommodation establishment in the Homestead Lake area in Farrarmere. The tranquillity and surrounding nature creates a peaceful ambiance. Guests feel at home immediately on entering the establishment with the warm greetings of the hostess Astrid and staff. The cosy sunlit guest rooms have easy access and rolls into the garden area as one. A variety of birdlife frequent the lake and surrounding areas and the call of the Ibis (Hadeda) is synonymous with the area. Early morning joggers are met with a friendly greeting while looking over the lake and seeing the paddlers and fisherman engaging with nature.

Astrid as well as the staff enjoy the guest interaction on a professional level and will make the guests feel at home. Home away from Home. Astrid is keen on her hobby creating amazing Stained Glass items. She also collects antiquities of all kinds ranging from furniture, antique paraffin stoves through to sculptures.

A variety of birdlife frequent the lake and surrounding areas and the call of the Ibis (Hadeda) is synonymous with the area.
