The cottage, lies in solitude, and the mountain is its backyard. It is ideal for the avid outdoors-person, as mountain-biking, hiking, cross-country running, cycling, and even swimming and canoeing, depending of the water level of the river, can be practised with ease.
Bibi’s Joy can accommodate up to 10 guests, and comprises 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Each bedroom contains a double bed and a shower en suite. The third bathroom is accessed from the lounge. Sleeping stretchers with bedding, are available for additional adults and children.
The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering with a Dover stove, a fridge, a gas stove, and cutlery and crockery. Twenty pieces of wood are included in the price. Additional wood can be purchased on site. The sunny and spacious lounge contains a built in fireplace, as well as a closed combustion fireplace.
Outside in the tranquil garden there is a carport for 1 car and misters for those hot summer days. The charming cottage has a lovely garden with a firepit and many indigenous plant species and ancient oak trees.

21 guests' feedbackOur stay at Bibi's Joy Self-catering House was nothing short of extraordinary, and we can't sing enough praises for the owners, Peter and Bibi, as well as the dedicated workers, Cedric and Gail. From the moment we stepped in, it was evident that every inch of this haven was crafted with love and care. The meticulous attention to detail, from the well-maintained surroundings to the beautifully arranged flowers by Cedric and Gail, created an atmosphere of serenity. Our days were filled with enchanting activities, from star gazing to connecting with the local wildlife by feeding the nearby goats, cows, and horses. Hiking up the riverside trail and cycling around the town provided adventure and breathtaking views. The garden, a haven for diverse birdlife, added a touch of nature's charm to our experience. Our heartfelt thanks to the owners and staff for their warm hospitality and for curating such a beautiful and comfortable retreat. This holiday home truly allowed us to disconnect from the world and create cherished memories. We express our gratitude and eagerly anticipate our next visit to this slice of heaven. Thank you, Peter, Bibi, Cedric, and Gail, for making our stay exceptional.
Everything is convenient, a warm and cozy atmosphere. I felt safe because we were only women and kids loved the outside. I will definitely stay longer next time.
Bibi's Joy Self-catering House is really a hidden gem offering great value for money. Fabulous dining room and kitchen with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Great base to explore the area. Don't miss the walk which starts behind the cottage. The host was a gracious host, communicated well, and made sure we had everything we needed.
If dry wood is provided, the cleaner will earn a greater income for herself, because guests will then use more bags of wood.
It was a lovely retreat.
Overjoyed at the style and facilities. Sorry, didn't book for 3 days.
Loved the unexpected coziness of the place. We had such a lovely stay for the weekend.
The owner was very helpful and continually kept us up to date with necessary information. The accommodation is situated at a unique location. Beautiful surroundings and all rooms are spacious and clean.
Peter and his people were very hospitable. We truly felt like we were at our own home yet away from home. Place was neat. Bedding warm, slept like a dream. Grandchildren enjoyed all the birds and also playing outside. The fireplaces were an added bonus. Many, many thanks for the privilege we had to stay there.
Where the owners can pay attention is the hot water supply to the showers. We as well as our friends have experienced in both showers that one moment you have hot water and the next moment the water is ice cold and then hot again. This happens, even if no other tap is turned on, otherwise it's a beautiful place.
This is my second stay at this establishment and the peace and tranquility is what is appreciated. The unit caters for all the cooking needs and large open spaces both indoor and outdoor, so perfect for a small group or family. It's great value for money and very neat and clean. It's a perfect getaway from the busy city life.
It is not suitable for more than 3 couples, those folding beds are very uncomfortable and the large glass doors should at least have something you can pull over at night and the bedding was also very little. The linen closets were locked. Nature was lovely, food for your soul.
Awesome little place, great value. Will be back.
It is really very peaceful right on the mountain. Walk in peace into the forest. The information you see is what you get.
Lovely environment. would just like to visit longer.
Pleasantly surprised by the homely spacious cottage and beautiful surroundings. Bertie, the caretaker, communicates regularly, comes to say hello and check that everything is OK. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Nice house for 2 couples or 4 people. Space for more is a bit limited. Owners went to great lengths to accommodate our group of 8. Well equipped with indoor grill, large table, comfortable furniture, fireplace. Outside table would have been handy. Nice walking and cycling paths.
Beautiful house in beautiful nature. Berti made us feel very welcome there! Would definitely recommend!
Well equipped, peaceful pet friendly place. Fully fenced yard with a beautiful yard that was perfect for our Boston Terriers to roam around. Enjoyed it a lot.
If you want to get away from it all that's where to go. Back to nature.
A magical place, off the grid, yet with all conveniences of modern life.
