    Beautiful cosy cottage with stunning views. We had a very restful few days and sat around the fire pit every night. Loved it.

    Stunning views. The cottage was truly amazing, all the creature comforts one could ask for. A perfect get away from city life. A rustic set up that warmed our hearts as much as the firepit and fireplace did 😁

The Bamboo mountain valley is especially pretty with beautiful oak trees that line the 6km road which is a cul de sac, therefore no will not encounter any through traffic at the Silo Cottage. The view from the spacious veranda is of Bamboo mountain b
I grew up in New Zealand and married my South African husband Chippy in 1998. I am passionate about horses and breed and train polo ponies. I enjoy meeting people from all parts of the world and have traveled extensively myself,
Our neighbourhood is a farming one so lots of cows and horses only. Very quiet and you may only come across a paddler on the river or a cyclist enjoying the scenery.
