Schoemans Cottage (Schoemans Huisie)

Schoemans Cottage (Schoemans Huisie) was constructed around the year 1870 on the Waterval Farm situated near Graaff-Reinet. This charming little cottage is designed to keep occupants cool during the summer months and cozy during the winter season, owing to its thick rock and clay walls. The cottage features an en-suite bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen. It can accommodate up to four guests, and there is no television or cellular phone coverage available in this isolated getaway location.

Waterval is part of a working farm that houses sheep, cattle, and goats. The premises offer hiking trails, game viewing opportunities, birdwatching, and 4x4 routes. Visitors can revel in the spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and the tranquility that nature has to offer, without any disturbance. Guests can enjoy this fully furnished cottage and learn about its history while immersing themselves in the pristine Karoo environment. The cottage consists of an en-suite bedroom with a double bed, a living room, and a kitchen. Additionally, there are two single beds in the living area, making this unit ideal for a family of four.
