Adding further value is a fully private, self-contained cottage currently operating as overnight accommodation for travellers moving between Gauteng and the Western Cape. It attracts visitors exploring the Orange River and Gariep Dam, fishing enthusiasts, and weekend tourists discovering the charm of the Karoo. The cottage provides an excellent opportunity to generate additional income or to host family and friends comfortably.

The lifestyle on offer is exceptional, with proximity to Bethulie Dam, water activities and fishing along the Orange River and at Gariep Dam, as well as nearby bowls and tennis facilities.
