The peace and quiet did us a lot of good. Totally relax.
We had a wonderful stay - the house was perfectly clean and all the facilities were in 100% working order. The farm is well located and the silence is perfect to get away from the cities' noise.

Secluded, peaceful, scenic. The perfect place for guests who enjoy the outdoors.
This is the best accommodation I could possibly choose. I'm always looking for secluded spots, and this was so perfect. People in general, that includes me, have become so used to luxury and comfort, that we forget what we can do without. The cottage is fantastically furnished with a solar geyser and collected rainwater and the farm is ideal for anyone who enjoys nature, wants to walk, mountain bike, or just enjoy the view. Thanks to Alex and Sean, we will definitely be visiting again!

Thank you for staying with us, the 5 and 13-km walking trails are re-marked at the moment, and should be done before the rains. Glad you found your way and enjoyed the weekend, kom weer.

The perfect getaway from the city.
Syringa Sands Mountain Cottage is perfect for someone looking for privacy away from the fast paced city life. Everything is very basic and very nice. Cell phone signal is not available most of the time. You do need a 4x4 to get to the Syringa Sands Mountain Cottage. Sean and Alex are both very friendly and helpful.

Hi Joshua, thank you for staying with us. Glad you enjoyed the weekend in the mountains and yes, the roof contracts and expands, it makes a noise. I do hope it did not keep you awake for too long. Come again, greetings from the Waterberg, Sean and Alex.

Syringa Sands Mountain Cottage 's response
Thank you,
We are looking forward to welcoming you back!
We are located halfway between Thabazimbi and Vaalwater, approx 50km on dirt, a high clearance vehicle makes the journey a lot easier.
We can arrange a pick up at the gate and take you up in the gameviewer and take you the last 7km into the mountains to the cottage.
Just let us know in advance.

Silence and isolation with the most incredible view.
The unit is very comfortable, tidy and well equipped. The location high in the mountain is really special. Beautiful view of the Waterberg, with the most incredible sunsets. It runs on solar power and the water is supplied by a rainwater system. Really green! If you're looking for tranquility in nature, you can't do better. The game farm has many animals and a variety of eco-zones, each of which contributes its own special experience. You can have a nice walk or just sit and enjoy the view. The roads are stony in the mountain section, but still drivable with the right vehicle.

Rest for the soul.
The place forces you to rest. The clean air and nature around you, calms your heart. It gives you another chance for the busy life. The eco-accommodation is fantastic. There is signal. Not great, but good enough for emergencies. It's cold in the evenings, but the feather duvet warms you up quickly. The friendly hostess makes you feel so at home. The 5 km long walking trail to a beacon on the mountain's view is breathtaking. You do need a 4x4 vehicle to get to the mountain cottage. Will definitely go back. Thanks for the treat.

Incredible view, rest for the soul.
Syringa Sands Mountain Cottage was an incredible experience. We were fortunate enough to experience the most incredible thunderstorms that you can literally see building from a 360 degree approach. The silence and peace is exactly what you need to recharge your batteries and being "off the grid" for a few days really relaxes you. Best of all were the fireflies in the evening! We will definitely go again!

Luxurious simplicity.
Syringa Sands Mountain Cottage will take your breath away. Totally secluded and completely self-sufficient. Very simple, yet luxurious. The view is something to experience. The hiking trails will keep you busy for a long time. Be aware that you will have to drive a long stretch of dirt road - the last section of Bakkers Pass is not the most comfortable ride. But with a 4x4, it's easy. I highly recommend Syringa Sands!

Secluded and breathtaking.
Syringa Sands Mountain Cottage is a place for people looking for silence and seclusion. If you want to get away from everything and everyone and experience the value of simplicity again then this is the place for you. The 50 km dirt road is not ideal for sedan cars, but it is part of the experience.

I want to describe the Syringa Sands Mountain Cottage as the best spot to view the beautiful Waterberg.

Dear Pietro,
Thank you for your feedback.
We have since added 2 different potjies and an oven dish. Indeed, as the hot water is powered by the sun, eco-friendly sometimes means one thing at a time.
