Accommodation Description
Tucked away in the lush Georges Valley just outside Tzaneen, Waterbessiebos Cottages offer a serene forest retreat for couples, families, and nature lovers. The property features two unique self-catering wooden cottages - Waterbessiebos and Loeriebos - each thoughtfully designed to blend comfort with natural surroundings.

The cottage includes a bathroom with a bath and an outdoor shower, a kitchenette with basic appliances, and a patio with outdoor dining facilities. Both cottages provide access to a splash pool, picnic spots by the stream, and opportunities to observe local wildlife such as bushbuck, suricates, genets, bushbabies, and monkeys. The property is securely fenced and offers free Wi-Fi.

Tzaneen is the second largest town in the Mopani district of Limpopo. Set at the foot of the Wolkberg Mountains, it is a scenic region with hiking trails, zipline tours, an abundance of tropical fruit and timber plantations, and animal farms to provide a holiday full of fun.
Tzaneen is a fantastic base from which to explore the surrounds. Situated at the foot of the Northern Drakensberg, it has spectacular scenery and fantastic attractions waiting to be explored. Swim in the crystal pool at Debengeni Falls, zipline through the trees with Magoesbaskloof Canopy Tours (26km), and enjoy a drink in the trunk of one of the biggest baobab trees in the world (34km).
