“A true home away from home” – that’s what guests say about Rosehaven. This 1900s cottage has something rare: it feels genuinely welcoming. Fresh flowers in every room, a garden alive with birdsong, that stoep where you’ll find yourself just sitting, watching the light change across roses to distant wheatfields. Wood fires crackling in winter, walking distance to excellent restaurants, and the Faerie Sanctuary literally around the corner. The garden welcomes furry family too.
