.Silver Linings Guest Cottage is the ideal place to unwind in picturesque Parys. Set in a beautiful garden and walking distance from the river, this little cottage offers a private entrance, lounge, kitchenette, double bedroom clothed in Egyptian cotton and en-suite bathroom boasting a shower and bath.
Having been in the Luxury Travel and hospitality business for over 30 years, I have always dreamed of having my own beautiful guest house. After moving to Parys 4 years ago I have finally made my dream come true. Silver Linings Guest house is a reflection of who I am and what I stand for.
Unique antique stores, local and owner-run businesses, as well as fantastic eateries right on our doorstep. A true shoppers and foodie paradise! There are a range of various outdoor activities too, such as golf, white river rafting, hot air ballooning, mountain biking, sky diving and wonderful hikes in the surrounding Vredefort Dome Heritage site. For those who enjoy the 'slow life' may indulge in wine tasting and locally made craft beers.
