Set in a four acre tropical garden, set against a backdrop of the magnificent Drakensberg escarpment,
Blue Cottages offers delightfully quaint accommodation in six individual cottages
(including self catering and family options).

The stunning Blyde River Canyon route is nearby, as are opportunities for rafting, hiking and bird watching. Kruger National Park’s Orpen and Phalaborwa gates are but an hour’s drive away.
This is the perfect place to rest and relax after a day’s exploring or a welcome pause from your journey.
Delicious 3-course home-cooked dinners are also served in the evenings on the lamp-lit farmhouse veranda.

This enchanting guest house is home to a superb collection of Africana and memorabilia belonging to the owners of the Monsoon Gallery and is steeped in the history of the lowveld.
The main house comprises the original farm manager’s cottage built in 1948, by General Drury,
on the pioneering Olifants River Estate.
The original lampposts imported especially by Drury from London,
can still be seen on the road leading to Blue Cottages.

Be sure to stay over when you next pass this tranquil and thoughtfully created hideaway!
