Featherstone View Cottage is a fully equipped, private, self-catering cottage designed for practical living and simple comforts, with beautiful mountain views of Featherstone Kloof and Signal Hill. It is a calm place to reflect and unwind as you take in the breathtaking views, while still being very close to the city, shops and schools. Off the grid: take a break from load-shedding and water-shedding. The cottage is situated 5km (7 minutes’ drive) from the centre of Makhanda (Grahamstown). We have a high capacity power generation system with solar panels, battery and 8.8KW inverter. This is normally sufficient to run the cottage, and we have Eskom power as backup. The cottage offers a modern open plan kitchen – lounge layout in the living space, with a 10-seater yellowwood table & benches. The minimal and comfortable interior space opens up via 3m sliding doors onto a wooden deck. The main bedroom (Queen size bed) and full bathroom are on the ground floor. A second bedroom is situated up a flight of steps. The upstairs bed can be made up as one king-size bed, or as two singles. Please specify this when making your booking. Since there is only one bathroom, the space is best suited to one large family, or those that don’t mind sharing. The cottage is equipped with a Bosch dishwasher, large fridge-freezer, washing machine and tumbledryer, nice wine glasses and crockery. The cottage is situated at the top of a mountain. Lovely views come with lots of wind. Please be prepared! Please close windows when you go out in case the wind picks up, and please be cautious about lighting braai fires. Strictly ensure that you never leave an outdoor fire unattended, and that all fires are extinguished at night / before you leave the property. Please do not leave chargers plugged in as they start fires. We do not accept third party bookings – the guest that books must be over 18 and must arrive on site, with the number of guests matching the booking.

The street numbering is completely random in this area, so please follow the pin rather than other house numbers.
