WINDSONG COTTAGES

Inside, Bushwillow has a large open plan living/dining/kitchen area with much of the fittings (including the whole kitchen), made from wood harvested on the farm.

This can either be used as an upstairs livingroom, or as an extra bedroom.

How to get there
Take the N1 north (signed Pietersburg or Polokwane) and follow this for about 110km until the Kranskop toll gate (the third tollgate you come to).
At this toll gate, turn off the N1 onto the R33. Take the R33 towards Nylstroom (Modimolle). This is a 10km stretch. Go straight through Modimolle and continue on for 64km until you get to Vaalwater. At Vaalwater, you will come to a 4-way stop. Turn right (signed Melkrivier), this is a tar road.
Continue on this road for about 24.5km, then turn right, signed to Sterkstroom. This is now a gravel road. Continue on this road for about 3km until you see a triangular “beware of cattle” sign on your left.
On your right just after this is a yellow sign saying “Charles Baber”, with a picture of a bull on it. Turn right here onto the farm road. The road runs straight for about 3km. At this point you will see a game fence and gate in front of you. Don’t go through this game gate, instead follow the road you are on as is bends to the left.
It splits into two, keep to the right hand road. You basically now follow this road until you come to the cottages. It takes a 90° right hand turn after about 500m, then is straight for another 500m. The road then forks. Don't turn left here, instead veer right over a cattle grid and into the game fenced area. Follow the road and you cross another cattle grid and arrive at
