Karee and Olienhout Cottages are two of eight self-catering cottages that make up Saamrus Guest Farm in Magaliesburg - one of the best pet-friendly places in South Africa.

Situated 'on the hill', these charming stone cottages offer spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and countryside that will undoubtedly see you spending most of your trip sitting on the stoep marvelling at the panoramic views.

The interior of Karee and Olienhout doesn't disappoint either. Each is open plan and thoughtfully decorated to make it feel like a home away from home. The king-sized bed and log fireplace in the bedroom/lounge promises toasty nights on those winter escapes.

The kitchen is separate and fully equipped with all the necessary appliances and furnishings including a fridge, microwave, two-plate stove, kettle, and toaster. All the extra bits and bobs such as cutlery, crockery, pots and pans, and cleaning supplies are also provided.

One of the best features of the cottages is the bathroom. The large tub and complimentary bubble bath and candles make bath time at Karee and Olienhout Cottages a real treat. Each cottage is fitted with a shower over the bath. Towels and toilet paper are also provided.

Each cottage has a braai area for the humans to enjoy and an enclosed garden for the dogs to enjoy. There is also a communal swimming pool and the surrounding area is laced with walking trails for exploring and enjoying the peaceful rhythm of nature.

Note: Karee and Olienhout Cottages are only accessible by 4x4 or walking.
