Petersfield Mountain Cottages is a highly recommended property for self catering in Citrusdal for anyone visiting the Cederberg region.
About Petersfield Mountain Cottages
Petersfield is a working citrus and Rooibos tea farm overlooking the town of Citrusdal in the Cederberg area. Situated 170 km from Cape Town on the N7 it takes only one hour and forty-five minutes to reach Petersfield.
The farm is situated only five kilometers from Citrusdal so it is very convenient for guests to nip into town for shopping or to sample fare from some of the fourteen restaurants and coffee shops on offer. Citrusdal is towered over by the mighty Cederberg Mountains and is the closet town to that wilderness area where guests can hike and view ancient rock art.
Self Catering Accommodation
There are four mountain cottages on Petersfield, all set extremely privately in a 2000-hectare wilderness reserve of pristine fynbos and still teeming with indigenous wildlife.
Activities
Guests come to Petersfield to totally unwind and to get away from the crowds. Here you are close to nature and guests are encouraged to hike in our mountains, swim in and row on the farm dam, which is high up in the mountains. There is a 4x4 trail for guests only so that some of the remote areas of the reserve can be visited. For the more energetic, bring your mountain bike and explore our world! For the rest of us ... bring along great food, dine under the stars, or just laze by the pool, relax, read and unwind in total isolation!
Pet Friendly
We are also a pet friendly establishment so we welcome guests to bring their pets along on holiday with them so that they also can enjoy the absolute freedom, tranquility and space that makes Petersfield so special. All dog breeds and cats are welcome at all four cottages. Pets stay FREE and no doggie damage deposit is required.

Loadshedding Facilities
What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

We had a wonderful few days stay at De Kom. It is very private, peaceful and relaxing with lots of bird life. The house is clean and well equipped. The garden is fenced which is great for the dogs. We would definitely visit again.

Our stay at De Kom was excellent. The cottage was beautifully located in amongst the mountains with specular sunsets. The rooms were well equipped with high quality linen and the fans were a life saver in the mid summer heat. A fenced in cottage was a huge winner with a puppy who had just as much fun as the kids who swam (nearly all day) in the spring fed pool. The best of course was the outside bathroom! We would highly recommend Petersfield and are already planning our next visit.
