The Oaks

The Oaks, the original fishing cottage on Katrinasrust, is nestled beside ancient oak trees in a private garden, ideal for families with children who want to explore in a safe environment. With a shaded pergola for outdoor dining on sunny summer days and a cozy fire in the lounge for warmth in winter, it is the ideal getaway for those looking to escape to some peace and quiet. Having recently undergone a slight facelift, The Oaks still has the quaint feeling that those visiting time and time again have become used to but offers a few more modern comforts too.

The cottage sleeps 10 comfortably in three double rooms and one bunk room for children and is serviced daily by a housekeeper. The kitchen is fully equipped and additional outdoor cooking facilities include a braai, fire pit and pizza oven.

Wisteria Cottage

Nestled in a beautiful English-inspired garden that was designed and lovingly tended to by Avril Brewer for many years, Wisteria Cottage is the original farmhouse on Katrinasrust. The cottage recently underwent a renovation, completed in December 2019, which has produced four bathrooms and five bedrooms of a very luxurious standard, as well as a beautiful living and dining room space that leads out onto the garden. The cottage boasts a spacious mud room for all kinds of fishing and outdoor gear, all modern appliances in the cozy farm-style kitchen, an outdoor braai and pizza area and a sunny Mediterranean courtyard. The vegetable garden has also been revived and is now producing fresh, seasonal vegetables and herbs for residents and guests to enjoy.

With a number of small, private spaces scattered around the garden, Wisteria Cottage is the ideal getaway for families with adventurous children who can play safely within the boundaries of the garden as well as for those looking for a quiet spot to sit and read a book in the afternoon sun. With three bedrooms en-suite and two additional bedrooms sharing a bathroom, the space is also geared perfectly towards couples travelling together, as well as families with older children. With rambling roses and an abundance of wisteria, the garden is particularly beautiful in Spring and early Summer for those that have an appreciation for horticulture.
