Gordonville Cottage

Accommodation Description

Situated in the heart of the Great Karoo, between Graaff-Reinet and Nieu Bethesda, Gordonville Cottage is a charming countryside retreat surrounded by the Sneeuberg Nature Reserve. Covering 14,500 hectares, the reserve established itself as a sanctuary for wildlife, playing a pivotal role within the Compassberg Protected Environment. 

Gordonville Cottage at Sneeuberg Nature Reserve sleeps four, with two en suite queen bedrooms and an equipped kitchen and living area. Guests can enjoy morning coffee and rusks on the east verandah while watching the sunrise, and sip on sundowners with a braai on the west verandah. A refreshing morning dip in the pool in the old sheep shearing shed (200m away) will set you up for the day

Setting Description

Sneeuberg Nature Reserve in South Africa offers an authentic Karoo experience, and with the absence of predators, the reserve provides a safe environment for leisurely walks, jogs, and cycling, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the scenic landscape and observe the local wildlife. Embark on a self-driven adventure or opt for a grounded exploration on foot or bike along various mountain, riverine, and scenic tracks. 

Immerse yourself in the true essence of the Karoo during evenings around a crackling fire, under crisp, clear, starry skies untouched by artificial light or sounds. The magic of these nights is heightened by the distant calls of nocturnal creatures, creating a unique and integral part of the Sneeuberg experience.
