Orangeview River Getaways
Description
Located on the first floor, the cottage offers a beautiful view of the Orange river from the double bed. A baby crib is also available with prior arrangements, and the en-suite bathroom is fitted with a shower. The toilet is linked to an organic septic tank system for waste disposal. Hammerkop Nest shares the use of a communal kitchen, located underneath Hammerkop Nest, as well as a braai and picnic area with Chat’s Rock. The kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge, a microwave, a stove, an oven, as well as tea- and coffee-making facilities. Drinking water will be supplied, as all of the plumbing is fed by filtered river water, and guests are welcome to bring their own drinking water should they prefer. Please note that this unit is very natural as it is made of wood and reeds. For this reason the local bats do love to roost in the walls on the exterior. They do no harm and play a very important role in the ecology and they pay for their lodgings by eating lots of pesky bugs. If you are afraid of, or dislike bats then this unit is not suited for you.
