Orchards Farm Cottages

Orchards Farm Cottages

Description

The raised deck overlooks the swimming pool and the river, and the grassed riverfront is a beautiful spot for viewing the abundant bird life, hippos and crocodiles, and to relax in a tranquil environment. There are board games to keep you occupied and a guest library at the guest lounge.

We are pleased to announce that we have installed a generator to ensure a full backup power supply to avoid "load-shedding" blues!

Orchards Farm cottages are situated in a litchi and mango orchard on the banks of the Komati River just off the N4 en route to the Mozambique Lebombo border post. While the atmosphere is rustic, the town of Komatipoort and the Lebombo border post are only a 5 minute drive away, and a 10 minute drive to the Crocodile Bridge gate of the Kruger National Park.
