Accommodation Description
Hidden in the heart of the Waterberg plateau, Waterberg Cottages offers guests lovely self-catering lodgings with sweeping views over vast, open plains, beautiful wetlands, and peaceful bushveld. An idyllic retreat for nature lovers and those seeking tranquillity, Waterberg Cottages invites visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of the South African wilderness.
Comprising a collection of scenic self-catering cottages, each unit is thoughtfully equipped with modern amenities while maintaining a rustic charm that reflects the surrounding environment. Guests can enjoy fully equipped kitchens, comfortable living areas and private outdoor spaces, allowing for a seamless blend of convenience and comfort.
Setting Description
Located within the Waterberg biosphere, the area features diverse flora and fauna, providing ample opportunities for wildlife sightings and outdoor adventures. The cottages are designed to enhance the experience of the serene bushveld atmosphere, where guests can unwind on private patios, breathe in the fresh air, and listen to the sounds of nature.
From scenic bush walks and lookout points to birdwatching and wildlife spotting, this private reserve offers something for everyone. Guests can explore the rich biodiversity of the Waterberg plateau on horseback, where the rides are tailored to the abilities of the riders, on thrilling game drives or simply relax in the peace of the bush. After sunset, Dr. Philip Calcott, a skilled communicator featured in Great Guides, presents guests with the marvels of the universe through his popular astronomy show. Guests can enjoy mattresses and pillows while gazing at the dark skies in the sparsely populated Waterberg.

Horse riding with the game is one of the highlights for many guests.

How to get there
Directions to Waterberg Cottages
From the airport:
Take the signs to the R21 Pretoria. After about 35km you will intersect the N1. Make sure you do turn off onto the N1 at this point, or else you will sail on into the middle of Pretoria. Take the N1 north (signed Petersburg or Polokwane). Follow this for about 110km until the Kranskop toll gate (the third you come to). At this toll gate turn off the N1 onto the R33. Take the R33 towards Nylstroom (Modimolle). This is a 10km stretch. Go straight through Modimolle and continue on for 64km until you get to Vaalwater. At Vaalwater you will come to a 4way stop (please phone us from here). Turn right (signed Melkrivier). This is a tar road. Continue on this road for about 24.5km, then turn right, signed to Sterkstroom. This is now a gravel road. Continue on this road for about 3km until you see a triangular "beware of cattle" sign on your left. On your right just after you will see signs to the right for Waterberg Cottages and Africamps Waterberg, Turn right here onto the farm road. The road runs straight for about 3km. At this point you will see a game fence and gate in front of you and further signs to Africamps Waterberg and Waterberg Cottages. Your host will give you the code for this gate. Once you are through the electric gate, you will find a second gate that you need to open manually by pushing it to the right. Once through both gates, follow this windy road until you arrive at Waterberg Cottages. Follow the signs to reception.
