About Protea Cottage at Highbourne

Protea Cottage offers self-catering accommodation located at Highbourne on a property that is part of the Monks Cowl Drakensberg World Heritage Site. This cottage is eco-friendly, off-the-grid and is the perfect getaway for anyone looking to relax surrounded by beautiful nature, or enjoy hiking in the mountains.

Self Catering Accommodation

Protea Cottage is tucked away on the side of a mountain overlooking Cathkin Peak and Monks Cowl. It sleeps four people with one large open-plan bedroom on the ground floor with a King-size bed and an open loft upstairs with two single beds. The studio design allows flow from the cosy well equipped kitchen to the lounge area and bedroom. The bathroom consists of a bath and shower, toilet and hand basin.

Protea Cottage has its own fully equipped kitchen with a stove and oven, fridge and microwave with everything you will need to cook a gourmet dinner. The cosy open living area, leading from the kitchen; consists of a dining room area and lounge where you can sit in front of a slow combustion fireplace during the chilly winter days.

The cottage opens onto a large wooden deck – the perfect spot to watch the setting sun. There is also a braai and outside dining area overlooking the garden and surrounding mountains.

Attractions

This is the perfect getaway for anyone looking to relax, whether it is hiking in the mountains, surrounded by beautiful nature, wildlife and birds, relaxing next to our natural stream that runs through the property with a book or wondering around the shops and restaurants down the road - there is something for everyone here.

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.
