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.

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”.
