Fabulous cottage. Plenty of room for all of us to spread about. Very comfortable house to stay in. Everyone in our party enjoyed the tennis court and the hot tub. A great place to stay for all the family.

Absolutely stunning house on an equally beautiful estate. Stable cottage had everything we needed, plus more, for our Christmas stay. Both tennis court & hot tub were used, but the most impressive & enjoyable activity was riding the electric golf buggies around Watatunga Wildlife Reserve. Weâd happily return to Stable Cottage @ Watatunga very soon, and hope to do so.
