The cottage is the perfect destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The self-catering cottage is tucked away in the forest and is suitable for 4 guests. It offers 2 bedrooms, each with a queen-size and a single bed. One of the bedrooms features a small desk to work or study. The open-plan living area with kitchen leads out to a covered verandah. The kitchen is well-equipped with a dishwasher, fridge-freezer combination, gas stove and microwave. The lounge features a large fireplace and 2 daybeds which can accommodate children on request. The bathroom has a shower, basin and toilet and there is a second toilet. A utility area with a washing machine is also available.

"Syringa Sands, a perfect bush setting that makes for good memories, the type of getaway destination that will draw you back time and time again!"

Ahhh yes.. Syringa Sands...Well, what can we say? The stuff that makes for good memories... When I close my eyes, the tranquil setting at Syringa Sands seems to summon me for a revisit. So good not to hear any cars, loud voices, barking dogs or the pounding bass of some idiot's sound system. Yes folks! Just the lonely howl of some jackal in the distance, accompanied by the liquid call of the Fierynecked Nightjar right through the night. What more can one ask for? During the day some Plumcoloured Starling, Orangebreasted Bush Shrike, Whitethroated Robin, Bleating Warbler, Greyheaded Bush Shrike, Kurrichane Thrush, Redbilled Woodhoopoe and Pearlspotted Owl, amongst others, delighted the senses, not to mention the priceless antics of a couple of tree squirrels frolicking about in front of the stoep. Even the vervet monkeys are well-behaved and did not once attempt to enter the house, which was left wide open in the safety of the solitude this splendid bush setting provides. The house itself, with its large fridge and freezer, large shower, king-size beds and under-roof parking was a joy in itself. Plenty of wood was supplied by the host for the large fire-pit where we sat every night and enjoyed the mesmerizing glow of the burning wood and dance of the flames whilst sipping at a cool glass of red wine. What a pleasant week it was at Syringa Sands, tucked deep into the African bush where nature has its final say. Ahhh yes. Syringa Sands!
