The Best Romantic Getaway In The Eastern Free State.

Posted on Sat March 9, 2019.

SkyWind Cottages, designed to fill a unique niche in our self catering accommodation, are without a doubt the best romantic getaways in the Eastern Free State. In today’s busy, noisy, hectic pace of life, many couples seek accommodation for just two, where they can spend time with each other in solitude and privacy.

The unpretentious barn style buildings sit quietly on the earth, comfortable in the rural farming environment of the Eastern Free State Highlands. The self catering cottages are gloriously, luxuriantly comfortable, intimate, beautifully decorated and furnished, and there cannot be self catering cottages more indulgent, more romantic, more awesomely gorgeous than Quail Cottage and Francolin Cottage, the two SkyWind Cottages.

Built from hand hewn sandstone blocks, barn style with high beamed ceiling, tin roof & cement painted floors, the combustion wood burning fire, king size bed dressed in beautiful percale linen with a big cosy duvet & heated blanket are ideal for chilly Highland winters.

These beautiful cottages are the best, the most romantic, getaways in the Eastern Free State, with the open plan spaciousness, beautiful pampering bath and enclosed sandstone shower and toilet, a fully equipped kitchen, a weber braai on the patio-with-a-view, this all comes together to define these awesome dwelling places for just two people in quietness, space and luxury.

In 2002 when Allen and I returned to this small farm and that wonderful mountain, we were aghast at the destruction that over farming and present day farming methods had done. It was a quiet sad place, in the evenings sitting outside on what was then a crumbling “veranda” the nights were still, no crickets, no frogs, just……silence….and uncomfortable nothingness kind of stillness.
