Lions River Cottages

Lions River Cottages is a quality place to unwind.  The location is quiet and peaceful. All the Lions River cottages are spaced far apart and by only having (eventually) 6 cottages on a 22ha property.

Rose Cottage:

3 x Bedrooms, sleeping 6 guests, 2 with Queen beds, 1 with 2 x single beds all with en suite bathrooms with bath, shower and underfloor heating.

This cottage has a spacious, comfortable lounge area with open Jetmaster fireplace, fully equipped open plan kitchen with dining table, electric stove, fridge/freezer and microwave oven.  The lounge area is sufficiently large that, if necessary, 2 additional single beds can easily be placed in it, without being cramped.  A tiled, covered veranda, complete with Weber braai facilities is the perfect setting for sundowners, giving full panoramic views of the Midlands and surrounding area.  If you would prefer being totally out in the open, simply move this furniture, Weber, etc., next to the bench, which we have placed under a large tree, next to Rose Cottage, from which you will get even a better view.

Lavender Cottage:

1 bedroom with queen size bed, and en suite bathroom with bath & shower & underfloor heating.  1 single bed in the open plan lounge / kitchen area.

This cottage has a spacious comfortable lounge area with open Jetmaster fireplace, fully equipped open plan kitchen with dining table, electric stove, fridge/freezer and microwave oven.

A tiled, covered veranda, complete with Weber braai facilities is the perfect setting for sundowners, giving you beautiful views over our Lavendar “patch” and of the Midlands.  If you would prefer being totally out in the open, simply move this furniture, Weber, etc., next to the bench, which we have placed in a secluded area, on the North side of this cottage.

Protea Cottage (Duiker):

2 bedrooms, 1 with queen size double bed, en suite bathroom, with spa bath and shower & other bedroom with 2 single beds,  en suite bathroom with bath, & shower & underfloor heating.

This cottage is very spacious (over 100 sq.m) having, between the 2 bedrooms, a comfortable lounge area with open Jetmaster fireplace, fully equipped open plan kitchen with dining table, electric stove, fridge/freezer and microwave oven.

A large tiled covered veranda, complete with Weber braai facilities is the perfect setting for sundowners, giving beautiful panoramic views of the Midlands and surrounding area.  If you would prefer being totally out in the open, simply move this furniture, Weber, etc., next to the bench which we have placed by the side of this cottage.  It is located close to our small dam and our resident duiker/s can often be spotted in this area of our property.

Guest Suite:

as the name implies, is, for our family and friends and is attached to the East wing of our home.  This is available fro renting, should it not be occupied by friends of ours.

It has its own separate entrance and has 1 bedroom, sleeping 2 + 1.

1 Bedroom with queen size double bed, and en suite bathroom with bath, & shower & underfloor heating.  1 single bed in the living area.

This suite has a comfortable lounge area with open gas Jetmaster fireplace, dining and cooking area, with a small fridge/freezer, combination microwave oven, kettle and toaster.

The tiled veranda, complete with Weber braai facilities, is the perfect setting for sundowners, giving beautiful peaceful views over the Midlands.

 

All cottages have “the dish”, Sony stereo TV’s and DVD players, but please bring your SIM Card if you wish to watch DSTV.  The Guest Suite has DSTV.  They also have under floor heating in the bathrooms and electric blankets for making chilly winter nights “gorgeous”.

Children are most welcome and both Rose and Lavender are very toddler friendly as there is only a one brick step from the veranda up to the cottage front door (stable door) and a one brick step down to the level grass lawn.  They are both at least 1/4 km from our small dam.

All units are fully equipped and have complimentary tea, coffee, sugar, salt and pepper.  We can also provide you with an optional scrumptious breakfast, served in your cottage, between 08h00 and 09h30 and that booking, prior to your arrival is essential.

All linen, bedding, bath towels, kitchen utensils, crockery and a reasonable quantity of firewood/anthracite are supplied.  Although the cottages are equipped with dishwashers, they are serviced.

With only 4 cottages on over 20 hectares of land, one can imagine the amount of space, and peace and our cottages have been positioned as far apart as practically possible to offer maximum privacy without compromising the superb panoramic views, which in our opinion is what makes us so special.

Activities:

River frontage for fishing, Swimming, tubing, braai, mountain biking, croquet, walks, prolific bird life.

Ideal for walking, birding, mountain biking, fishing, etc, it is the ideal spot for that Midlands getaway you have been promising yourself.

Lions River Country Cottages are conveniently situated in the centre of the KZN Midlands and thus all the considerable attractions of the Midlands Meander are all within easy reach.  We have a host of good restaurants close by.
