Cozy Corner Cottage

Our solar powered cottage is the ideal place to enjoy a relaxing getaway in Onrus. Mere minutes from Hermanus, the cottage is located within walking distance from the beach and various tidal pools in the area.

Fitted with solar panels, battery and inverter, the cottage has back-up power and is ‘loadshedding proof’.

The space is beautifully furnished & decorated, stylish enough to make it feel special, but informal enough to enjoy your time at the beach. 

We opted for an open living space where the kitchen and living room is one, allowing for extra special family time. This space spills out onto the terrace where you can enjoy a meal or glass of wine under a gorgeous pepper tree. The small yard is fenced, ideal for young children (and small pets by arrangement).

Features and amenities include an indoor braai (BBQ), a SMEG oven and a Nespresso machine. 

The main bedroom is located downstairs across from the bathroom. The bedroom is small and intimate with built in cupboards.

The cottage has one bathroom with shower, loo and basin. 

A small staircase leads to the loft, again open plan. Here you will find a Queen size bed and a single bed. Our recommendation is that the cottage is ideal for 4 guests, however we will allow up to 5 guests if there are children (hence the extra single bed).

The loft also sports a dedicated work space for guests wanting to work remotely. French doors lead to a balcony overlooking the beautiful mountains of Onrus.

Sales pitch aside, this is where we lived when we first moved to Onrus, about 5 years ago. It's small, but you don't really need much more. At the time, we were looking for something larger as we realised that this was the perfect property to put on Airbnb as a holiday rental in our coastal town. Things didn't really go according to plan as all of a sudden the cottage next door went on sale. Quick direction change, we purchased the property on the spot and started renting that one (Cozy Coastal Cottage) out on Airbnb. We stayed a little longer until we found our house just up the road.

Have a peak at our listing and pop in if you're ever in the area :)
