A Peaceful Free State Retreat Where You Can Truly Slow Down

Book Your Stay Now

Surrounded by fields of wheat, maize, and sunflowers, our cottages sit right on the edge of a stunning valley. Every sunrise feels like nature’s way of inviting you into a slower rhythm, and the sunsets… well, those are something you’ll want to stop and savour.

Welcome to a Place That Feels Instantly Like Home

Tucked into the rolling hills just outside Ficksburg, Springwater Cottages is one of those rare places where life naturally slows down. The moment you arrive, you’re greeted by wide-open skies, quiet valleys, and that soft, refreshing breeze you only get out in the countryside.

"Springwater Cottages are a wonderful weekend getaway. The host, Anton, is very warm and friendly. The cottage was super clean and all the neccery goods were there. The access road can be difficult as there are three high bumps, but taking them diagonally will help to get over them. It is peaceful and will recharge you."
