Lilys Cottage is a large charming cottage, overlooking the swimming pool & garden, totally separate from the main house. The cottage balcony which is the perfect place to unwind at the end of a busy day, looks out on to the pool and lush tranquil garden. As we live close to a river, we have a large number of garden birds, as well as monkeys who all feast on our large papaya trees and other indigenous trees. Our motto is “Live life beautifully" We have made our home a haven to recharge, and be ready to take on the world of tomorrow and love sharing this with our guests!
We have lived on the property since October 1974, love our ‘green valley'. We both have an excellent rapport with people from all walks of life. We enjoy the outdoors, are approachable, and try our utmost to accommodate our guests' requests where possible.
