Raka Cottage is a free-standing cottage, nestled between trees in its own private garden. The area and neighborhood is safe and quiet. A "4X4 Mountain Trail" with steps lead you through the Sub-tropical Lowveld garden to the cottage. There is an easier route around the house with easy steps. You are welcomed with fruit, coffee and tea. For Breakfast there is complimentary Rusks, Muesli, Yoghurt and Fruit juice to enjoy while listening to the abundant bird life. The kitchenette is fully equipped and there is a private Braai (Barbeque) area. The cottage is serviced every day. There is safe parking space on the premises. Raka Cottage has it's own private garden where guest can relax under the trees. There is a swimming pool where guest can cool down and soak up the sunshine. Nelspruit is close to KMI Airport, the Kruger National Park and Mozambique and a central point to take day trips to Hazyview, Sabie, Graskop, Pelgrims Rest and Baberton. Nelspruit boasts abundant sunshine and moderate sub-tropical climate. A lush landscape and a variety of nearby attractions awaits you.
I can help with information and pamphlets regarding all the tourist attractions in the area, as well as restaurants and shops . I like to give my guests a relaxing and comfortable stay and will go out of the way to achieve my goal.
