"We recently stayed in the Copper Cottage for the weekend. It was a lovely time away to relax in a bit of seclusion. From having sundowners and a braai on our private balcony, to soaking in the jacuzzi bath at the end of the day., it was a great getaway.
Helpful staff and management made it that ..."

Perfect for our weekend getaway and would come back again.
