Annie's Cottage is a B&B guesthouse in the heart of Springbok, the centre of Namaqualand, "God's own Garden", in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. Annie's Cottage is an African Dream come true. The old manor house was lovingly restored by Petronella to its former colonial glory. With luxurious en-suite rooms where no luxury is spared and lazy afternoons can be spent around the swimming pool, enjoying a book on the verandah or under our shady old Jacaranda trees. Accommodation at Annie's Cottage

Serene ambience in a lovingly restored home situated at the foot of the "koppie" where South Africa's first commercial copper mine was found.

During August to October when the Namaqualand flowers go into bloom nothing compares to the beauty of our area - and Annie's Cottage offers one of the best places to stay with just a bit of magic and information on the area.

Eleven luxury, en-suite rooms offer comfort & a feeling of "Coming home" for the weary traveller. Enjoy a cool afternoon in our oasis-like garden filled with fantasy and little private corners under established Jacaranda trees, a lazy afternoon on our veranda with a book or watching the birds having a bath in one of the fountains, and something refreshing to drink or a fun-filled day with the children by the swimming pool!

All rooms have private entrances onto the veranda, into the garden or their own private patio to ensure that our guests enjoy their stay here.

Every room is decorated in a unique style to give it its own personal touch, with Percale cotton bedding & feather down duvets & pillows, so you can rest assured you can sleep in luxury!

All rooms are en-suite with either bath or shower or both, with crisp white towels and matching his/her robes and hair dryers.
