Stone Cottage is a rustic self-catering cottage in a scenic working farm in the beautiful Balela Mountains, approximately 50 km from central Newcastle. The farm borders the famous Majuba Mountain where the First Boer War was fought in 1882 and is the ideal base from which to visit other historical sites in the area.

The rustic, pet-friendly farm cottage can accommodate up to 4 guests and consists of 2 bedrooms and one bathroom. The main bedroom is furnished with a double bed, and the second loft bedroom is equipped with one single bed and a child-only bed. The bathroom, which is en-suite to the main bedroom, is fitted with a shower, basin and a toilet.

The farm-style kitchen contains basic appliances such as a fridge and freezer, and a gas oven and stove. The lounge leads out onto a patio, which has wicker furniture to sit on and a Weber braai for those who like outdoor cooking.

Well-behaved pets, two small to medium dogs, are welcome by prior arrangement, as the cottage has a private garden for them to run around. The farm is also situated approximately 12km from Volksrust, Mpumalanga, with its shops, takeaway restaurants, and petrol stations.

"Far from the madding crowd."

Returning to Stone Cottage for a second time proved even better than our last visit. As we drove up to the now-familiar farm gate we were greeted by the dogs and Gilbert the farm hand. The cottage inside was as always warm and inviting and the welcome sherry really did warm us up from the inside. Everything was clean and falling into one of the comfy wingback chairs was just what we needed after the long drive. After a lovely cup of coffee, we headed out on a walk with the dogs. There are many interesting birds to see in this beautiful area. Cutting through the bush we came across a stream where our doggos had to frolic for a few minutes. We got back to the cottage and snuggled up to a lovely log fire. (The rain and mist had moved in.) Supper cooked on the impressive gas stove was good and a hot shower ushered us to cosy beds. Listening to the quiet sounds of the evening was far better than anything social media could offer. The following morning my son and husband took a short hike up one of the hills while I relaxed on the window seat with a good book. Every now and again I would pause to look at the horses outside the window. This is a beautiful working farm owned by Robin and Karin. They are down-to-earth hosts with so much valuable knowledge of the area. This little cottage feels like home. It's comfortable, cosy and warm. It is a happy place. If you are looking for a country break, this is the place to go. We will definitely become regular visitors. Thank you Karin and Robin for a lovely weekend. That gas oven makes a delicious roast chicken by the way. Lots of love.
