Privacy in Serenity
The original GlenDonald Cottage was built in 1965 and over the years has undergone a number of renovations, the last having been completed in 2014. Situated at the headwaters of the Olifants River, the cottage looks over the “Visgat”, the crystal river pool that will be the central point of your stay.
