Stay in this delightful cottage in the foothills of the Drakensberg.. The Antbear Country Cottage was originally built in the 1940's and restored by sculptor Bruce Attwood. This cottage is a charming and romantic retreat with it's thatch and wooden interiors. The name of this cottage comes from a previous "resident" who lived beneath the floorboards before restoration. This cottage is eccentrically refurbished with wood gathered in the surrounding valleys.

You will find that comfort and hospitality are part of the whole experience. A unique stay where a revisit will be a must. Antbear Country Cottage has the perfect recipe for relaxation. You will find that meals are part of the surprises that the Antbear has on offer with home cooking an essential part of the menu.

Perched on a natural kind of platform the Antbear Country Cottage overlooks the Bushman's River with breathtaking panoramic views of the 'berg from Giants Castle to the Sentinel. There is also lots to do in the area. A guided horse trail through a game reserve, hiking in the Drakensberg mountains, viewing Bushman rock art and enjoying a gentle drive down the Midlands Meander are but a few of the available options.

For those of you who like to just kick back and relax there are a number of shorter self guided trails starting at the cottage like the one to the waterfall. Of course you could just relax on a deck chair with a great book or in winter view snowcapped mountains while having dinner & wine beside a warm crackling fire in the lounge.
