Clearbrook Cottage sleeps eight and is fully-equipped for self-catering, with four double/twin en-suite bedrooms, a cosy lounge with a large fireplace, and an open plan kitchen area. The cottage opens onto a lawn, situated on the shore of Hesketh Dam, with spectacular views of the Southern Drakensberg across the water. The dam is stocked with trout and bass are active in the dam in the warmer months. The setting is peaceful and private.

Heronwood cottage sleeps 10 and is a large cottage-originally an old farmhouse, simply furnished, fully equipped for self-catering, and has five double/twin bedrooms and five bathrooms. The cottage has a large kitchen and a spacious open-plan lounge with fireplace, dining room and bar area. The cottage opens onto a lawn with spectacular views of the berg, over the farming valley.

The cottages are serviced in the mornings. The cottage bedrooms at both cottages are spacious – plenty of room for extra mattresses or camp cots.

We have six kilometres of the Umzimkhulu River for fishing; as well as a number of stocked dams on the farm. We have developed 20 kilometres of single track for mountain biking or trail running; this track links to the Sani Spoors single track, giving guests access to many more kilometres of mountain bike tracks/trail runs. We also have two measured long-distance swims in the two larger dams on the farm. A portion of the farm is a listed Protected Area, to assist in conserving key wildlife species of the area.

We are located two kilometres along the Bushman’s Nek Road, altogether only eight kilometres from Underberg. Glynn Cothy dam, which is stocked with trout for fly-fishing, is about 800 metres away, and the Umzimkhulu River about 1.2 kilometres away.
