Reviews

  • 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.

  • Very friendly hosts

    Extremely interesting astronomy evening with Dr. Phil Calcot - a real expert. Comfortable cottage, very quiet and relaxing surroundings. We enjoyed the tennis court and heated pool as well as the game drive on adjoining farm. We came home totally rejuvenated. Thank you all at Waterberg cottages!

  • We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Waterberg Cottages

    We arrived to a cute little cozy cottage, perfectly set up for a romantic weekend away. It is so tranquil and relaxing. Besides the wonderful hiking trails, there is a heated pool perfect for those rainy cold days amongst many other exciting activities offered at the Waterberg Cottages. I would recommend this humble getaway to anyone who needs a time out of the busy city!
