One of the proudly pet-friendly accommodation offerings the Western Cape has on offer, The Cottage at Melozhori Private Game Reserve is the perfect getaway for families and friends to enjoy some well-deserved rest and recuperation less than 2 hours’ drive from Cape Town.

The Cottage has two en-suite bedrooms which can comfortably accommodate four adults and two small children. Standout features include a wood-fired hot tub, braai facilities and a splash pool to keep cool all summer long!

Occupying prime position atop a gently sloping hillside overlooking the valley below, our stunning self-catering cottage provides a lovely getaway for small groups of family or friends just outside of the Mother City.

Each of the bedrooms in The Cottage has an en-suite bathroom and opens onto personal viewing decks. Beds are equipped with electric blankets for those chilly winter evenings and the living area boasts a flat-screen TV, selected DSTV channels, a fireplace, and a comfy couch. The kitchen is fully equipped for all your self-catering needs with a fridge and freezer, microwave, kettle, and a Nespresso machine to start the morning with a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

In the warmer months, you’ll spend plenty of time outdoors enjoying the wood-fired hot tub, built-in braai and outdoor pizza oven. Cool off on hot afternoons in the sparkling splash pool and spend evenings around the firepit swapping stories from the day.
