Situated along the Hennops River is a little rondavel nestled in natural wilderness of the Crocodile River Reserve. We are part of the Magaliesberg Biosphere, which has been categorized as a critically important and irreplaceable biodiversity area.

Emerge yourself into the wild, relax in a tranquil natural environment and go hunt that thirst for adventure. Removed from any amenities you find yourself free as a bird. Forget the concrete jungle and follow us into the cradle of the African bush.

The space
The self catering thatched roof River Cottage has a large lounge and dining space and bedroom with wooden floors. It features a modern tiled kitchen with granite top and a classic bathroom situated just a stones throw from the river. Expect total relaxation from the calm soothing sounds of the river and the natural beauty of the Hennops River Valley.
