About Butterfly Cottage

Butterfly Cottage was the first construction project of Anthony Baber. He made it for himself and his bride, before he went on to build world famous lodges. It is a beautiful natural stone and thatched cottage with a spacious open plan living/dining/kitchen area, one double bedroom and a bathroom. There are two very comfortable sofa beds in the living area for use if required. The cottage has a bathroom, but there is no shower. Butterfly Cottage is situated near the swimming pool and has a lovely large braai area where you can sit and enjoy the stunning sunsets. Butterfly lends itself perfectly to either a romantic break for two or a family with young children.
