Wild Bird Cottage – Two-bedroom cottage
Wild Bird Cottage is a beautiful farmhouse-style retreat, perfect for couples, friends, or families seeking a cosy getaway in the heart of the Garden Route. Once an artist’s studio, this private, pet-friendly cottage combines creativity with comfort, adorned with original artworks and offering stunning views of fynbos-covered hills, Rondevlei Lake, and the Outeniqua Mountains.
The cottage features two en-suite bedrooms: one with a luxurious king-sized extra-long bed (convertible to two singles on request), and another with a queen bed plus a sleeper couch suitable for small children. The fully equipped kitchen, lounge, and dining area provide everything needed for a comfortable stay, with Wi-Fi and a smart TV for added convenience.
Step onto the spacious covered deck to enjoy breathtaking views, a gas barbecue, and an enclosed garden complete with a traditional farm fire pit, perfect for magical evenings under the stars. Inside and outside dining areas ensure comfort in any weather.
A short stroll brings you to the shared pool area and scenic farm trails, where you can explore the beauty of the fynbos with your dogs off-leash. Bordering the Wilderness National Park, the farm offers direct access to hiking trails and a serene escape in nature.
Wild Bird Cottage is sustainably powered by solar energy, ensuring a reliable, eco-friendly stay with no loadshedding. Self-check-in is available, and staff are always on-site to assist if needed. Please note that the sleeper couch is only suitable for children.
I have no words for this beautiful farm! Honestly, such a peaceful area with the most stunning views from all around. We really enjoyed our stay, we even extended another night! This is also such a perfect spot to stay if you traveling with a pet, beautiful walks around the farm with a pond even for them to cool off. We cannot complain about anything! We will definitely be back. Thank you for having us!
A absolute gem of a place!!
Just a very relaxing place to stay. Thank you
We absolutely loved our stay at the wildbird and would definitely recommend it! Diane was very friendly and responsive as well 😊
The cottage is extremely well equipped, neat and welcoming.
We travelled with 2 dogs of which one is a bullterrier. The cottage being fenced, was perfect for our dogs.
The jar of dog biscuits was a sweet touch.
The views are spectacular.
Thank you.
A really amazing stay, for both us and our pup. There’s something special about finding a dog friendly fenced spot that hasn’t compromised your ability to feel like you are still part of natural surroundings. Lovely clean and well stocked cabin, a good location in peaceful surroundings- we will make this a regular stop on our Garden Route meanderings 👌🏻
Diane's cottage suited our needs perfectly. Loads of space to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful surroundings as well as a comfy couch to nap on!
So lovely to spend time at a place which is 100% pet friendly. A swimming pool for the humans (plus plastic pool for dogs), a big pond for the dogs to cool off in after a hike around the farm.
Would highly recommend as a breakaway from the rat race!
Thank you Diane for your willingness to go the extra mile for our dogs, even providing a hose and sprinkler in the unseasonably hot weather! Your effort and thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated.
