  • Bushveld sunset in a hot tub

    We loved the experience. The tent was well equipped, beds comfy and shower nice and big. The deck overlooked the camp. Nothing beats fresh air, beautiful sunsets, starry skies and the sounds of wild animals going about their day, but sitting in a juccuzzi, and then enjoying all of that with a glass of wine! Definitely coming back.

  • We stayed here for two nights and loved this place

    The cottages are beautiful. The place is ideal for small children. Our cottage was beautifully set near the secure swimming pool, looking out over African farmland. The kids loved the two dogs on the property. Waterberg Cottages is located 30 km out of Vaalwater where you can buy all you groceries. We are certainly coming back.
