The cottage boasts two outside “stoeps” or seating areas. The front verandah looks out from under the “broekie-lace” roof onto the street where one may keep an eye open for dog-walking pedestrians and the occasional horse or donkey ambling by.
The outside stoep”/verandah has a built-in seating area with cushions and is located in the well-maintained greenery of the garden, under an over-hanging tree. On this stoep one may view the breath-taking Riviersonderend mountain range. There is a fire pit, a loose standing braai, as well as a small Weber here for braai-ing. Barbeque utensils, a grill and gloves are provided. There is a small blue pool visible from this stoep, perfect for refreshing swims on Greyton’s hot summer days.
The two bedrooms boast very comfortable king-size beds, made up with crisp white linen, and warm duvets and quilts. The main bedroom is an en suite with a bath, while the second bathroom (not en suite) is fitted with a newly built shower. Bedside tables with bedside lamps are beside both beds.
The comfortable living room space is well appointed with two couches and a soft ottoman for feet resting. The small wood burning stove warms up the space very well on cold winter nights. There is a television (with DSTV), as well as a DVD player in the living room space. The well-stocked bookshelf might provide some reading material and there is also a selection of excellent DVD series and some puzzles.
