The Cow Shed

The cow shed

Description

The Cow Shed consists of four comfortable suites in an original, fully equipped, converted milking shed. The distinctively decorated rooms reflect the history of the Badfontein Valley and offer a unique way to enjoy the area. The valley also provides the perfect setting for fly-fishing two other varieties of fish for which the neighbouring Wilsonia Koi Farm maintains respect, the spirited trout and the feisty bass.

The Cow Shed boasts four en-suite bedrooms, a farmstyle kitchen, dining room and living area. The stoep surrounding the house enables you to soak up the wonderful scenery in the valley.

Watch the herd of Nguni cattle grazing outside your back door. We also have a wonderful braai area
