Oakridge Farm Cottage

A Sense of Peace

near nottingham road
Oakridge Farm Cottage is perfectly situated to explore the Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands, but more importantly it is somewhere to sit and absorb the moment while the sun sets over the small dam, watch the Nguni cattle come down to drink or the abundant birdlife that congregates around the water, and let the stresses of your normal days drift away.

Our charming cottage, alongside a small dam, is perfect for couples or can accommodate two people in single beds. The fold-out couch is suitable for children up to about 12 years of age. 

Beautifully decorated and fully equipped, the cottage is intended for guest’s who enjoy nature alongside comfort. Loud noise, over-occupation and parties are not permitted.

step into

tranquility

Oakridge Farm Cottage boasts very poor internet connection. The idea is to watch nature, not a cell phone or television screen.

Fishing rods can be booked by arrangement at a small fee, and guests are welcome to use our two old bicycles at no additional charge. There are also two kiddie’s bikes, suitable for 4 to 8 year-olds.

Our aim is to make your visit memorable. Oakridge Farm Cottage is well placed to explore everything the Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands has to offer. Ask about local activities; request a basket of local delicacies (Saturdays and high season, by pre-arrangement only) at a reasonable additional cost. Nothing is too much effort, and our best advertising is by word of mouth.

our facilites

Oakridge Farm Cottage works only on a self-catering basis, but we can direct you to the best places to eat in the area or to purchase local delicacies. There is a carport to protect your vehicle from hailstorms, which do occur occasionally in the area.

When booking please be mindful that this is a farm stay and Eskom loadshedding causes disruptions to our day-to-day. While the cottage does not have a back-up generator there is a small gas plate, and with plenty of rechargeable lights one can simply braai and watch the stars if there is a power outage at night.

The cottage is only serviced three times a week, so be prepared to wash the dishes (the good old-fashioned way) some days and to make your own bed (or don’t, no pressure on the farm😊).

Although we have poor internet connection,  you can fully relax knowing that there is an effective security system in the cottage.

Oakridge Farm Cottage is dog friendly, however the farm owners reserve the right not to allow certain breeds of dogs and to limit numbers.

word of mouth

What a treat it was!

We recently spent 2 nights at Oakridge Farm Cottage. What a treat it was. Although it is in walking distance from Linga Lapa and Brahman Hills and a stones throw from the main farmhouse you feel like you are far from civilization! The beautiful big windows of the cottage let in lots of light and allow you clear views over the small dam and the beautiful farm scenery. We particularly enjoyed watching the sheep and cows coming down for a drink whilst we had our morning coffee. We were also entertained by a family of Egyptian geese and a heron who all spent a lot of time on the dam. The cottage is very comfortable and has everything you need for a quiet, relaxing getaway. We would love to visit again in winter so we can make use of the cosy fireplace! We chose not to do much but rather to walk around the farm and relax, but the cottage is close to lots of Midlands activities and wedding venues so you can choose to do as much or as little as you feel. We loved our stay here and will definitely return.

Loved your little cottage!

We really loved your little cottage, where it is situated, and all the birdlife. The fresh flowers were such a nice touch, and still look great today.

We will definitely be back

We really enjoyed our stay at Oakridge Farm Cottage. It’s really been special. Our dog Suzie has loved it and so have we. Our only recommendation is to at some point build more units so we can have friends and family come and join us for the fishing. We caught 17 fish in one day. The unit is fully equipped with everything we could possibly have needed. Its amazing. We will definitely be back.
