There the air is filled with the perfume of the veld, the Highveld ends and the Lowveld begins and you can feel the change of the landscape. In this perfect location lies the country living and hospitality offering called, The Cowshed.
This beautiful, farm house is a definite must if you want to experience a true feeling of how it is to live on a farm.
The Cowshed is a farm accommodation and wedding venue that is situated halfway between Lydenburg and Machadodorp. Owners Diana, Ann and Tammy, are known to go to any lengths to make sure their guests’ needs are met and new and wonderful memories created.
The Cowshed has great confidence in their wedding venue and has built up a reputation as being one of the most beautiful places to get married in Africa. Their team goes through any length to ensure that your wedding will be as beautiful as your relationship.
The Old Shed is where the wedding reception takes place, which will give your reception a unique and stylish appearance. The fresh modern look combined with a relaxed farm feeling makes it the perfect place to cut loose on the cement dancefloor and celebrate a union of two loving people.
The Cowshed offers charming accommodation
There are four different self-catering houses to choose from, each exuding the charm of the Badfontein Valley. The Steenkamps Mountain range in the background also gives off a feeling of authentic charm.
Choose between The Cowshed, The Boarding House, The Mountain House and the Farm House, and for the lovebirds, who have recently tied the knot, the new Bridal Suite, with private and secluded view of the farm dams, is the perfect romantic escape.
All the houses come with a fully-equipped kitchen and the beautifully crafted braai area is the perfect place to have a braai while enjoying the night sky and some good company. Alternatively, you can snuggle up by the indoor fireplace while watching a movie on the TV, which is equipped with DStv.
Cleaning service is provided daily, so you can truly relax during your stay. Tea and coffee facilities are available while scrumptious homemade rusks are provided.
Comfort & style unite
The rooms are created with comfort in mind, with en-suite bathrooms with showers and top-tier quality linen. All rooms are uniquely decorated, and have the retro charm of the past. Some rooms are en-suite and a few have their own private outdoor shower.
While the Honeymoon suite takes ‘glamping’ to a whole new level, with luxury teak tents overlooking the dams, a four-poster bed, a Victorian bathtub and private outdoor shower, you can thoroughly enjoy your first night as a married couple without a care. For your meals, you can venture to the adjacent tent for the kitchen and dining area.
You will never be at a loss for what to do in this region. Fishing is the trademark sport of Dullstroom, while mountain biking and horse riding are a great way to exercise as well as take in the scenery and spot some wildlife.
For the city slicker, The Cowshed is the closet way of enjoying a true farm getaway experience.
