A game lodge in the bushveld? Almost! With three stone and thatch double storied dwellings - one of them a rondavel and the other two resembling small game lodges complete with veld and indigenous bush, marula trees, monkeys, the occasional buck and the nightjar calling at dusk. In fact Fig Tree Cottage is a bird watcher's paradise.

An East African colonial home? It could be - with faded sepia photographs of Arab dhows and tented safari camps reflecting a bygone era; dark wooden blinds and white muslin curtains; mosquito nets and Zanzibari style antique furniture.

The rondavel has an African / Zulu atmosphere with Swazi mats on the quarry tiled floor and comfortable beds under the cool thatch upstairs. It is set at the end of a large lawn next to a rose garden.

Our two other luxurious units have their own parking area nearby and entry is past a swimming pool with a pool deck at the front doors, private balconies off the en suite bedrooms, private view decks and open plan kitchenettes off the living rooms.

All three cottages have an outstanding view to the coast. In the distance the lights of Durban and its suburbs twinkle like stars at night and by day the Indian Ocean is a splash of blue on the eastern horizon.

We will provide our guests with a breakfast of their choice, such as fresh fruit (often from our own garden), and fruit juice, yoghurt, hot scones straight from the oven, served with butter, home-made preserves and cheese.

In spite of the peace and quiet, an excellent highway only moments away links us to Pinetown (5 minutes) and Durban (20 minutes).

The beautiful valley of a Thousand Hills with its scenic splendour and tribal life is only 15 minutes away. You will also find excellent restaurants, a gym and a golf course nearby.

Fig Tree is ideally suited to holidaymakers, honeymooners and business people. French and Afrikaans are spoken.
