Budget Getaways Review

The cottages, Ansie, Betsie, Corlie and Donsie, are named after milk cows, a throwback to when the farm was still a working dairy farm and they used to give a name to each and every cow, in alphabetical order. Bertus has proudly continued this tradition when naming the cottages.

The units are comfortable with kitchenette style facilities, each slightly different.

Ansie can sleep 3 adults, in 1 single bed and one king size bed. There's minibar, shower, toaster, private entrance and electric kettle.

Betsie and Corlie each sleep 2 adults, in one queen size bed. This bungalow has a sofa, private entrance and seating area.
