  • A Magical place!

    What a magical place! We really enjoyed our third anniversary / honeymoon at Cliffedge. The space, solitude and beauty kept our hearts full. Thank you. Beautifully built cottage; the care and attention to detail is noticeable everywhere. The views are spectacular and the decor was calm, relaxing and very comfortable. The fireplace is a wonderful feature and shower is absolutely amazing.

  • Idyllic Getaway

    We stayed for a week at Cliffhanger Cottages, in Cliffedge Cottage. The cottage is idyllic - beautiful view over the valley with mountain ranges in cascading colours of blue receding into the horizon. Even whilst showering you can appreciate the view. If you are into relaxing, reading and birding, this is the place. If you are into exploring the Garden Route, this place is fairly central. If you are into hiking and forests, this would be recommended.

Their commitment to environmental responsibility extends to their employment practices, with the owners choosing to hire local staff who reside within the Phantom/Homtini Conservancy. This not only bolsters the local economy but also fosters a sense of community engagement.
