Your home away from home!
Ever wanted to own a cottage but without the headache of the upkeep and costs?
Join us here at Southview Cottages where you’re treated like family year after year at a cottage that feels like home.
Please note that we operate on a ‘Bring Your Own Linens’ (BYOL) policy, which means guests are kindly asked to bring their own bed linens and towels for their stay. This allows us to maintain affordable rates and focus on providing you with a comfortable and relaxing retreat. Our cottages come fully furnished with all kitchen amenities, giving you complete freedom in your vacation to not be reliant on facility hours or high Restaurant prices. Our self-catering cottages will be cleaned and ready for you when you arrive – but we do not offer in-house housekeeping during your stay. We look forward to hosting you!
