About Otters Den

Otters Den offers four secluded, self-catering cottages set in 18 acres of unspoilt countryside in the heart of the arts and crafts route of the Midlands Meander. Built in 2004, these well-equipped cottages overlook the Lions River near Nottingham Road in Kwazulu Natal, offering a truly peaceful and relaxing break away. French is also spoken.

Self Catering Accommodation

We have 4 freestanding newly built thatched cottages: Chelsea, The Great Western, Ikhwela and Copper, each with a private balcony overlooking the Lions River. Copper Cottage is our romantic open planned honeymoon suite with its own private river view jacuzzi spa bath, situated at the foot of a queen-sized double bed. Every cottage also comes with a welcome pack including tea, coffee, sugar, milk and delicious home-made biscuits.

Facilities

Each of our cottages is for 2 people and has an ensuite bathroom with its own jacuzzi spa bath. Every cottage also comes with a fully equipped kitchen including microwave, 2 plate stove, fridge/freezer, toaster, and weber braai. They all have dining and lounge areas, a table and chairs on the balcony as well as a queen sized double bed and private car port.
