Description

Self Catering or Bed & Breakfast Accommodation in the beautiful KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.

The Monet Cottage at Giverny Creative Country Holidays is the jewel in the crown of the Natal Midlands. From your lounge window, look across rolling hills at the Inhlozane or look right across the Dargle Valley. Stunning scenery all about. Sit on the deck, sundowner in hand, and contemplate one of the most amazing sunsets that Mother Nature dishes up almost daily.

The cottage is most suited to couples and young families. It sleeps four comfortably, but we do have additional mattresses should these be needed. Monet comprises a main bedroom, a second smaller bedroom with adult sized bunk beds. There is our famous rondavel lounge (that of the stunning views!) with an attractive cheery fireplace for cosy winter nights, dining area and a fully equipped kitchen. There is access to a private garden with superb braai'ing and outdoor dining facilities.

A mere 70 metres away is the dam - great for swimming. All around, all day long there is the constant twitter of bird life - sunbirds, forked tailed drongos, long crested eagles, blue cranes, swallows!

We are members of the Midlands Meander Association and in close proximity to the host of activities, craft sites restaurants to be found on this superlative arts, crafts and activities route. The eastern edge of the uKhahlamba / Drakensberg Park World Heritage Site is but an hour away Highmoor (trout fishing and great walks) and Kamberg Nature reserve (world famous rock art.) are highly recommended and are easily accessible. Three golf courses are located less than 15 minutes away. Trout fishing is available at several dams nearby.

We are twenty-five minutes from Hilton, Michaelhouse and St Anne's schools and offer a perfect setting to spend a quiet weekend visiting your son or daughter should you be from up country. "An ideal home from home".

Here in the Midlands, we always say that we often have four seasons in one day and it is true that the weather here can be fantastically changeable. Generally speaking though, summers range between misty wet days and hot steamy days, which often end with a dramatic tropical thundershower. Winters are, for the most part, mild with occasional cold wet days.
