Safari Bliss at Bushwillow Cottage, Limpopo – Pet-Friendly & Perfect for Families!

28/02/2025

Looking for the perfect bush getaway with family, friends, or even your furry companion? Look no further than Bushwillow Cottage, a stunning safari retreat at Waterberg Cottages! Nestled in the heart of a game reserve, this two-storey hideaway is all about breathtaking views, wildlife encounters, and total relaxation in the African bush.

The cottage sleeps seven, making it ideal for families or small groups. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a double bed, stunning veld views, and an en-suite bathroom with a luxurious slipper bath. Downstairs, there’s a spacious bedroom with three single beds and an en-suite shower room. The mezzanine level is a cosy spot with two full-size sofa beds, which can double as an extra bedroom or a lounge area. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is filled with charm, featuring woodwork made from timber harvested right on the farm. And for those cooler nights, the indoor fireplace adds a warm, inviting touch.

Step outside onto the large stoep and take in the spectacular sunset views. There’s plenty of space to sit back, enjoy a meal at the outdoor dining area, and keep an eye out for game wandering past. The braai area is perfect for cooking up a feast while soaking in the sounds of the bush. And with free WiFi and a fenced back garden, even your pets can enjoy the adventure!

There’s no shortage of things to do at Waterberg Cottages. If you’re up for some adventure, a safari horse ride with @waterberghorsetrails is a must. A luxury bush dinner under the stars is an unforgettable experience, while the many hiking trails offer a chance to explore the beauty of the Waterberg on foot. The astronomy experience is perfect for stargazing, and for those in need of some downtime, an in-suite massage is just the thing after a day of exploring.

For families, there’s a swimming pool, tennis court, jungle gym, pony rides, and even a small mammals experience for the little ones. And if you don’t feel like cooking, the team at Waterberg offers breakfast and braai basket deliveries packed with fresh, local ingredients for you to prepare at your own pace.

Despite feeling like a private bush escape, Bushwillow Cottage is just a short distance from the pool and other on-site facilities, making it the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. With a variety of game passing by—including giraffes, antelope, and even horses grazing in the grassland—there’s always something to see.

If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat, an action-packed adventure, or a fun-filled family holiday, Bushwillow Cottage at Waterberg Cottages is the perfect destination. Would you love to experience this stunning safari stay? Let us know, and we’ll help you plan your unforgettable getaway! 🦒💛
