About Thatcher's Rest Self Catering Cottage

Situated in the scenic and tranquil hills of Biggarsberg, Thatcher's Rest is a delightfully secluded self-catering cottage situated on a working farm. Located between Ladysmith and Newcastle in KwaZulu Natal, this unique thatched roof cottage is set on stilts within one of the six dams on the farm and is accessed from the shore by a wooden walkway.

It is furnished with a queen bed and the bathroom has a shower, basin and toilet. The second bedroom is also situated on the top floor with views of the surrounding mountains.
