Nestled in the heart of the Waterberg plateau, Waterberg Cottages offers its guests a haven of tranquillity, relaxation, fun and chance to enjoy the beautiful Bushveld.
Top attractions at Waterberg Cottages are:
- Stunning game drives over the adjacent Belleview Private Reserve. This reserve is teeming with game, and is offered as an exclusive game viewing option only to our guests.
- Astronomy shows led by South Africa's Great Guides favourite astronomer - Dr Philip Calcott
Only 2.5 hours away from Pretoria, and malaria free, we invite you to leave behind the stress and strain of the city and experience the unspoiled wilderness of the Waterberg Biosphere.
Waterberg Cottages is a family-orientated establishment and we have many activities to keep the kids occupied. these include our 15m semi-heated pool, trampoline, childrens adventure village, and sand play areas.
We offer a range of marked walking trails where guests can enjoy relaxing walks in beautiful bush and stunning views, and a range of dams that guests are welcome to fish in. Other activities include donkey cart rides and horse riding.
"We enjoyed the stay immensely. The Kudu Lodge has everything one would require for a comfortable stay, and such a lovely location."
"loved the garden, the view, the frogs, the birds, the chalet comfy. the noise by the locals partying all saturday with music blaring spoilt the serenety and peacefulness. give gps coordinates on website."
"We stayed in Windsong which has lost all of its old world charm and is now just plain old and unmaintained. Doorknobs and locks don't work, handles missing from furniture. Curtains and linen are in very poor shape and of poor quality. The fabric on the valance in the livingroom was fastened with just some thumbtacks many years ago and doesn't seem to want to stay put anymore so it just hangs off. The couches and armchair are in terrible condition. Outside toilet had a pile of leaves on the lid because of a gap between the roof and wall. Loose and leaky taps, the list goes on. The farm is not fenced and there are no security measures in place. The only two positives is the jungle gym and the big stoep. I cannot speak of the other cottages but rather steer clear of winsdsong. The owners are not involved at all and don't seem to even care although so much emphasis is put on it being a family run establishment."
"We arrived after dark, the directions given on website was clear but signs not visible enough at night."
"Rustic and comfortable. Felt that the owner could maybe have paid us a visit"
"Great value for money, nice accommodation and a great escape from the busy city. We stayed in Bushwillow, loved every minute and will definitely be back."
"My friend and I enjoyed our stay at Rose cottage very much. It has a rustic charm about it. Mpho and Solly made sure that we had everything we needed. The Star gazing was excellent."
"Absolutely fantastic holiday again. <br /><br />Mpo the manageress is a gem and the staff are so friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. Scamp, the farm dog who acted as our guide on the trails, made sure we didn't get lost and our dachshund <br />Archie made a new best friend; Ziggi a young JR. They were inseparable. A really good time was had by all. Waterberg Cottages also now have game which we watched from our patio.<br />CHRIS AND SONIA BACON <br />"
"Mpho and all the staff go out of their way to make sure you have every comfort. The gardens are magnificent even after a very harsh, dry winter. The easy trails are very clearly marked but the friendly, well-behaved resident dogs are only too happy to act as guides.A wonderful place to unwind and relax watching the beautiful sunsets."
"Had a great, relaxing, quiet weekend. Awesome fireplace. Unit was clean and neat with a well equipped kitchen. Enjoyed the hiking trails and bird life."
"From the minute we arrived to a warm welcome to the minute we left, we enjoyed everything about our stay. The cottage was so beautiful and everything you need had been thought of and was on hand. The accommodation was spotless and the staff very friendly and helpful, especially Mpho.The facilities are wonderful. We loved the hikes and the heated pool. We will definitely be back.Thank you for a fantastic holiday."
"Very nice and quiet atmosphere in the Windsong cottage. There are not many activities in the nearby surrounding but the place itself is plenty for a weekend away and relax around the braai or pool."
"The cottage was comfortable, clean and really wonderful. The staff, Solly and Mpho were polite and welcoming. I went for a time of refreshment and received exactly what I set out to achieve."
"Peaceful, private and a very pleasurable experience. We enjoyed going for long walks and seeing game. Listening to numerous bird calls and watching the sun sets was therapeutic. Mpho is a wonderful and caring manager and mother."
"We had such a lovely time relaxing on the stoep at Rose Cottage, reading and watching the birds. We had everything we could possibly need, including freshly picked mulberries. I will definitely be back."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Waterberg Cottages. The setting was beautiful, and from Butterfly cottage we enjoyed spectacular sunsets every afternoon. The chalet was clean, cosy and charming. The staff were fantastic. Mpho really ensured we were well taken care of! Camera traps is recommended - a lovely way to explore the farm and learn more about nocturnal animals."
"Enjoyed the quietness and lovely night skies, hikes in the veld, drives on the farm on our own and generally the ambiance of the area."
"Friendly, comfortable stay. Good place for children and nice walks."
