SELF-CATERING · WHITE RIVER · MPUMALANGA
Self-catering cottages on a working farm in the heart of Mpumalanga — family-friendly, nature-surrounded, and completely at your own pace.
The Aloe Arbour Cottages sit on the same beautiful working farm as the Retreat House — surrounded by macadamia orchards, dragon fruit, and gooseberries, with sweeping views toward the distant Lebombo Mountains.
Unlike the Retreat House, the cottages are fully self-catering and family-friendly. You set the pace. You cook when you want, braai when you want, and explore when you feel like it. The farm is your backdrop — and it’s a good one.
Eight minutes from White River. Forty-five minutes from Kruger. And completely removed from the noise of everyday life.
Choose the cottage that fits your group — each one is different in size and feel.
A charming two-bedroom cottage with a private plunge pool and built-in braai — ideal for small families or a group of friends. The main bedroom has a king-size bed with en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom has two three-quarter beds. Open-plan living with smart TV, Netflix, Disney Plus, gas heater, and free Wi-Fi. Fully equipped kitchen with washing machine and dishwasher.
A cosy open-plan cottage perfect for couples or solo travellers. Queen-size bed in the bedroom with a single sleeper couch in the lounge. Shared plunge pool. Outdoor seating with farm views and a portable braai. Smart TV with Netflix and Disney Plus, free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and a fully equipped kitchen with washing machine and dishwasher.
The Farm House offers timeless rural charm with generous outdoor areas and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a well-equipped kitchen — ideal for families or couples who want more space, more privacy, and a deeper sense of country living.
