The cabins
Heron & Otter
Two timber A-frames, sensitively built for the fynbos and finished in warm wood that settles into the landscape. Each is set privately with sweeping mountain views and easy access to the river — ideal for couples, and an easy walk apart for groups of up to eight.
Sleeps 4 · 2 bedrooms
Heron
Set higher on the slope, Heron looks straight down the valley towards the mountains. It’s the cabin guests write home about — “we could happily live in Heron forever”.
