Should rented equipment sustain any damage, R1500 replacement fee is applicable, and damaged equipment becomes yours.

2 Sacks of firewood is included. Additional firewood is available at an additional cost. Please order additional wood with the housekeeper and leave cash for it in the envelope inside the guest book.

The cell signal is generally bad along the river. For good signal drive back up the steep hill just after Bag End Cottage, and park at the top by the tall blue gum trees.

Wi-Fi is routed via an elaborate network of wireless links through the valley to your cottage, and is dependent on the local Vodacom tower function. This infrastructure unfortunately makes it costly to deliver, and can be purchased (R100 per Gig) upon login by credit card. Not yet available to Elvinbrook and Bucklebury cottages.
Some guests have had reasonable success with personal Wi-Fi / hotspot devices, and you’re most welcome to bring them along, but the signal strength in the valley fluctuates.

No pets are permitted.
No smoking inside the cottages.

Cottages are serviced daily in the mornings, should you prefer not to have your unit serviced, please advise us.
