Jack's

A horse lover’s paradise - Sleeps 6

If you love horses this is the place to book. Jack was a stallion who sired many of the horses that graze around the cottage, and you’ll be right next to the tack room. All nine horses come pounding up from the paddocks to be fed so sure to bring a bag of carrots, as they will be expecting treats. You are most welcome to help groom and tack up and if you would like your children to ride please arrange it with us once you have booked your stay.

Honeywood is a fully operational farm so there’s plenty going on, whether it’s tractors moving wood or trucks ferrying beehives.  There are paths, streams and forest walks to enjoy and a mountain water swimming pool up at the main house for those hot days.

• A kitchen with the basics.
• A cosy living room with a fireplace, a dining area.
• Three bedrooms, one double bed and two with singles.
• Two bathrooms with a shower and toilet.
• Bedding and towels provided.
• An outdoor braai.

You can purchase bags of firewood and mountain biking permits from the office on arrival or add it to your booking reservation.

The water in all our cottages comes straight off the mountain. It is a golden, clear amber colour and is completely safe and drinkable. The colour comes from the tannins that seep from roots as the water is naturally filtered underground before  trickling into the rock pools high up on the mountainside. It has a high Ph level and a bit of a taste so we don’t think it makes a great Japanese sencha or even a heavenly cup of strong English tea so we suggest you bring bottled water if you are concerned, pregnant or have a sensitive and highly attuned sense of taste. But what we can promise is it is phenomenal to bath, shower or swim in.
