Perfect location for our overnight stay. My ex farmer parents loved the peace and outlook onto farm land. Protea Cottage is beautifully set up, great coffee, super clean and comfy! Heat pump was on which made for a cozy evening. Many thanks for the ease of access and great communication. An 11/10 from my Dad!
