| Cob Cottage lies in the valley against the cliffs on the far side of the valley and is tucked away and very private. It has a queen sized bed and very comfortable lounge. The open plan kitchen is fully equipped with gas appliances for self catering guests. There is a delightful bathroom, half open to the sky, so you can lie in the bath and watch the eagles and stars overhead. There is solar power in the cottage for lights or you can use the paraffin lamps provided.
The Cedar Falls Hike and Running Man Rock Art Trail are both accessible from your front door.
Please note that as we are in a World Heritage Site, we are unable to accommodate pets.
This beautifully crafted cob cottage is part of an empowerment project hosted by the Another Way trust.
A decade ago when tourism started growing in the area, Willem and Marta had a dream to run their own guesthouse.
We built the cottage during our annual Cob Building Workshop in 2008 and had 13 people contribute love, sweat, tears and blessings. The cottage is built of mud, adobe bricks, straw bales and poplar beams from the farm, and is a true indication of what can be achieved with local materials.
Cecelia Fraser was the Green architect from Cape Town that donated her time and energy into designing the cottage. Jake Levi, a 14 year old that loves the farm and is a wizard behind a camera and computer put together a funding video with Willem and Marta.
And so the dream unfolded. We got funding from guests that have become regulars on the farm and we were able to furnish this beautiful cottage.
We are very proud of this achievement and wish Marta and Willem every success in their project.
