About this place

With unrivaled, stunning views of the Iron Crown and Wolkberg mountains, Cussonia Cottage is embraced by beautiful, indigenous "Mountain Cabbage" trees that gives Cussonia Cottage its name. The vistas look over indigenous forest all the way to Haenertsburg. These rare pockets of indigenous forest are frequented by rare species such as Samango monkey, duiker and bushbuck. Birdwatchers are in for a treat as the gardens are visited by Knysna Touracos, Double-collared Sunbird, and forest birds.

This is a self-catering two-bedroom cottage with a Queen bed in bedroom one and a double bed in the second bedroom. There is a full kitchen with a microwave, refrigerator, and a gas stove. There are beautiful views and wonderful bird life for birders.

Guests are free to wander and walk around the farm's gardens, wild grassland, plantations and indigenous forest, and down to the farm dam.

Activities and venues less than 2km away: Zwakala River Retreats wedding venue, Cheerio Gardens, Zwakala Brewery, Wellness Spa. The Makgobaskoof/Haenertsburg area has stunning attractions such as Debegeni Falls, Woodbush Forest, charming pubs and restaurants in the village, antique, arts and crafts shops.

It is advisable to arrive before dark as the farm roads are easier to navigate in the daylight.
