STONEHAVEN COTTAGE

Stonehaven Cottage isn’t just a place to stay - it’s a private escape set high on the mountainside, where time slows and the Cederberg landscape takes centre stage.

Designed exclusively for two, this secluded retreat is tucked into a pristine nature reserve near Citrusdal, surrounded by rugged sandstone formations and untouched fynbos. From sunrise to sunset, uninterrupted views stretch across the valley and towards the dramatic peaks of the Cederberg mountains.

Inside, the cottage is thoughtfully designed as an open-plan space that feels both spacious and intimate. Wake slowly as morning light spills across the king-size bed, with nothing but birdsong and mountain air around you. A freestanding bath adds a romantic touch, inviting long, quiet soaks with views out over the veld. The separate bathroom includes a shower, basin, and toilet.

The living area flows effortlessly between kitchen, dining, and lounge. A fully equipped kitchen includes everything needed for a comfortable self-catering stay, while the indoor fireplace - with wood provided - brings a soft crackle and warmth to cooler evenings. Air conditioning and WiFi ensure comfort year-round.

Outside is where Stonehaven truly comes into its own. Step onto the front stoep with your morning coffee as the valley comes alive, or settle in for slow afternoons around the private splash pool.

Two built-in braais - one on the stoep and one beside the pool - make outdoor cooking part of the experience, whether it’s a long lunch or dinner as the sky turns gold. Loungers and shaded seating invite you to linger a little longer.

As the day fades, the open-air hot bath becomes the moment. Set against natural rock and overlooking the valley, it’s the kind of place where time disappears - whether you’re soaking in the last light of sunset or lying back under a sky full of stars.

Stonehaven is intentionally designed for privacy, romance, and complete disconnection - ideal for couples, honeymooners, or anyone seeking a peaceful, design-led escape in nature.There is an option to accommodate one child by prior arrangement.
