Waterberg Cottages
Hotel
Directions

Check out our video here - link to video Waterberg Cottages has a stunning safari-style stay called Bushwillow — it sleeps 7, has a full kitchen, cozy indoor fireplace, outdoor dining, a braai spot, and yes... it’s pet friendly! 🐾

Just 2.5 hours from Pretoria and malaria-free, this spot is perfect for families, couples or friend groups looking for a peaceful break in the bushveld. It’s set on a private game reserve, so you’ll likely have giraffes casually strolling past your patio — no big deal 🥹💛

There’s so much to do too — think horse safaris with @waterberghorsetrails, dreamy bush dinners, scenic hikes, stargazing, massages, and even pony rides for the little ones. Plus, they offer braai and breakfast baskets delivered to your door 👏

We highly recommend this gem for your next group getaway — and if you’re travelling as a couple or bigger crew, they’ve got other gorgeous cottages and glamping tents too! 🌿
