Rediscover silence. Rediscover stars. Rediscover yourself.

Tired of the relentless hum of the city? Trade the traffic for the gentle ripple of a fly-fishing line and the crackle of a wood-burning fire. We are offering a rare opportunity to secure a 50% or 25% share in a magnificent 15-sleeper thatched cottage, nestled in the heart of the Mbona Nature Reserve.

For over 20 years, this cottage has been a sanctuary for families who value the healing power of nature.

The Retreat Experience

  • Breathtaking Vistas: Wake up to sweeping views of emerald hills and the shimmering dam. The expansive patio serves as your front-row seat to some of the most tranquil landscapes in the country.
  • The Heart of the Home: A double-volume lounge with exposed thatch and a roaring wood-burning fireplace creates an atmosphere of warmth and rustic luxury.
  • Modern Meets Rustic: Enjoy a fully equipped, modern kitchen and a spacious dining area perfect for long, lazy lunches that turn into evening feasts.
  • Star-Lit Evenings: As the sun sets, move to the private fire pit. It’s the ultimate spot for storytelling, sundowners, and watching the Milky Way reveal itself in total clarity.

Accommodation for the Whole Family

Designed with large family gatherings in mind, the cottage effortlessly sleeps 15 people:

  • Downstairs: 4 generous, light-filled bedrooms sleeping 8 adults in comfort.
  • The Adventure Lofts: Two charming lofts provide a "secret hideaway" for up to 7 children.
  • Facilities: 2 full bathrooms plus a convenient guest toilet.

Life at Mbona

Ownership here grants you access to an exclusive lifestyle:

  • Fly-Fishing Paradise: Multiple dams offering world-class opportunities.
  • Explore the Wild: Private walking and hiking trails through pristine nature.
  • Turn-Key Living: The cottage comes fully furnished, meaning your escape begins the second you turn the key.

Ownership Structure

This is a stable, long-term investment in your well-being. You will be sharing ownership with two established families who have cherished and maintained this home for over two decades.

  • Available: 50% Share (or 25% option).
  • The Community: A peaceful, well-managed environment where the focus is on conservation and tranquillity.

Escape the chaos. Claim your piece of paradise.
