Pitlochrie Cottages

Pitlochrie Cottages welcomes you to an authentic farm stay experience nestled in the majestic Southern Drakensberg mountains of the Eastern Cape. Offering a unique blend of rustic charm and comfortable accommodation, we provide the perfect retreat for those seeking tranquillity, adventure, or a memorable family holiday in the fresh mountain air of Rock Cliff.

Our accommodation is thoughtfully designed to suit every need and group size. Choose from the cosy three-sleeper Cottage, the spacious eight-sleeper White House, or the expansive twelve-sleeper Farm House for larger gatherings. For the more adventurous, our Fieland Cottage offers a well-equipped camping site for four. Each unit provides a self-catering haven, allowing you to set your own pace amidst the stunning Eastern Cape landscape.

The location of Pitlochrie Cottages is a premier advantage. Situated on a working farm in the Rock Cliff area, you are perfectly positioned to explore the wonders of the Eastern Cape Drakensberg. The property offers a genuine farm stay experience where guests can immerse themselves in the rhythms of country life, while still being within reach of local attractions. Key features include:

• Multiple accommodation types for couples, families, and groups.
• A well-stocked, licensed bar for relaxing evenings after a day of exploration.
• Direct access to breathtaking mountain scenery and farm activities.
• A peaceful, private setting ideal for both relaxation and adventure.

Your experience at our Rock Cliff accommodation is defined by freedom and connection. Wake up to panoramic mountain views, spend your days hiking, fishing, or simply unwinding on the porch. The region is renowned for its spectacular drives, sandstone cliffs, and warm hospitality. We are approximately a 2.5-hour drive from the nearest major airport, making us an accessible yet wonderfully remote destination for both domestic travellers and international visitors seeking an authentic South African experience.

Pitlochrie Cottages caters to a wide range of guests. Leisure travellers find solace in our serene environment, families appreciate the space and self-catering flexibility, and groups of friends value the privacy and opportunity for adventure. Our setting is also conducive to small business retreats or team-building gatherings away from urban distractions.
