Watermill Farm Cottages
Description
Lavender Cottage, affectionately dubbed "Lav", was the most dilapidated of all the cottages, and has been lovingly restored, preserving its original character as much as possible, with traditional cow dung floor and thatch roof, keeping the windows & doors the original size. This quaint little cottage served as the home for three different miller families that operated the watermill during its eighty-years of milling activity. The furnishings of the cottage reflect its old-world charm, and it sleeps two with a double brass ‘Hemel bed’ in the bedroom, complete with brushed cotton bedding. The second bedroom has been converted into a bathroom with a shower. There is a two-plate gas burner for cooking, gas hot water, and soul-soothing candlelight for evening illumination. Solar powered lighting, a fridge, power points, along with an electric fan have been added for comfort. A cast iron fireplace in the original hearth provides warmth in winter. This cottage is comfortable and cozy while retaining is authentic minimalist style.

Description
The Barn started its life as a typical Karoo cottage. At some stage it was altered and became a milkery, with the historic stone walled kraal at the rear of the cottage, complete with feeding mangers, bearing testimony to this time. It was later simply used as a barn, before being reworked back into the cottage it had once clearly been, keeping the large arch doors, and adding a Victorian fireplace that was discovered in one of the farm lofts during restoration. The Barn is more spacious than the Lavender cottage with a double bedroom plus a sleeper couch in the living area if needed, fitted with brushed cotton bedding. The barn has a two-plate gas burner for cooking, gas hot water and soft candlelight for the evenings. Solar powered lighting, power points, a fridge along with an electric fan have been added for comfort. The elevated front stoep overlooks the picturesque Rooiberg mountain range. The Barn is a romantic cottage, embracing a delightful ambiance of old and new, favored by artists and other creative souls.
