The History of Poespasrivier Cottage

Poespasrivier Cottage

This heritage, adobe cottage with a traditional country atmosphere has been lovingly restored to its original pristine glory.  Come and experience the Simple Life!

An original 1865 missionary cottage, country styling, the village and mountainside to wander and discover, plus excellent mountain biking trails. Here you will be woken by the cocks crowing and pigs squealing at feeding time. Farm animals graze the verges and modern transport happily shares the road with donkey and horse carts. Bring your bicycle and walking shoes!

The cottage in all her newfound glory. The original bread oven takes 20 loaves and was rebuilt during the restoration process. The outhouse now boasts a flush WC. A slower lifestyle of yester-year and still very much in use today. It takes donkeys 2 days to plough a "tuinland". Historic Moravian church bult in 1865 by 60 workmen and 200 young girls. Still boasts its original clock whcih was donated from Germany.
