Hardy-da Forest Cottage is nestled in the charming farming town of White River in Mpumalanga. The cottage is surrounded by a diverse array of plants, birds, and other animals, making it an ideal spot for nature enthusiasts. The self-catering cottage is set within the owners property and comfortably accommodates 2 guests. It has a very comfortable bedroom furnished with a king-sized bed. An easy chair, thoughtfully placed within the bay window area, invites guests to relax and enjoy views of the forest foliage. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, washbasin, and toilet, with all linen and bath towels provided for convenience. The living area features a fully equipped kitchenette with a fridge, gas stove, kettle, microwave, toaster, cutlery, and crockery. The lounge accommodates a small dining table, comfortable seats and a TV with DStv. Leading from the lounge is a wooden deck which provides ample space for relaxing under the shade of the trees. For guests wanting to explore; the Bosch Pottery Studio and Eloff Gallery are 300m away, while Casterbridge Lifestyle Centre is 8.3 km away. Uplands College is approximately 12 km away. The Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, KMIA, is a 10km drive. We have three very friendly dogs.
I spend a lot of my time gardening, propagating plants and enjoying the bushveld environment with my three socialized and friendly dogs. I have created paths within the property that provides easy access through an environment of grassland, forest and woodland. This varied environment provides a wonderful habitat for birds and other wildlife such as duiker, dwarf mongoose and genet. The deck is surrounded by a canopy of trees which in summer provides wonderful shade. I have ensured that the deck provides an exclusive and quiet environment, a place to relax. On the deck, I have included a fire pit, weber braai, table and comfortable chairs, so at any time of the day you can relax with a cup of tea or a glass of wine.
Our home is situated 5km outside of White River in a bushveld environment. Casterbridge life style center has a number of restaurants, shops, art galleries and a farmers market once a month. The Bosch pottery studio and Eloff Gallery are a few hundred meters from us.
