Petersfield Mountain Cottages

Petersfield Mountain Cottages offers self-catering accommodation located less than a two-hour drive from Cape Town, in the golden valley of Citrusdal. It is an export citrus and rooibos tea mountain estate, overlooking the majestic Cederberg Mountain Range and the lush orchards of the fertile valley. The establishment prides itself on the quality of its accommodation and the beauty of the surrounding countryside.

Petersfield Mountain Cottages provides four fully equipped self-catering cottages, situated more than 1 km apart in a 2000 hectare mountain wilderness area. Each cottage has a distinct character and ambiance, with unique settings, private plunge pools, and privacy. Several hiking, mountain biking, and 4x4 trails in the pristine fynbos mountain offer an opportunity to enjoy the unique ecological splendour of the Western Cape.

Small game abounds around De Kom Cottage, and during the late afternoons, guests can watch as eagles hunt for basking dassies on the cliffs in front of the cottage. There is a secluded mountain dam approximately 300 m from the cottage as well. Dassieklip Cottage emphasizes comfort and complete privacy, providing every modern convenience.

Die Veepos Cottage is the latest and most spacious addition to Petersfield, offering a luxurious country experience for larger groups or families. It is located against a magnificent rock outcrop in a beautiful setting, completely private with beautiful views over the Olifants River Valley to the north.

Stonehaven Cottage is set high on the mountainside, surrounded by fynbos and sandstone formations, boasting spectacular views over the valleys and onto the impressive Cederberg Mountains. It was designed to accommodate one couple only, with an accent on romance and total privacy, appealing to honeymooners and couples seeking a chic bush getaway.

Dassieklip Cottage is a unique hideaway for the discerning guest, set under magnificent oak trees, next to a stream in a mountain kloof. It features air-conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen, a Jetmaster fireplace, a colour TV with DSTV, a CD player, a bathroom (with only a shower), and tasteful interiors to ensure a comfortable stay. A sparkling plunge pool, an outside barbecue area, and undercover parking complete the amenities. Bedding and towels are provided, and the cottage can be serviced on request. Dassieklip Cottage has two bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with two single beds, as well as two daybeds in the lounge area for extra accommodation.
