Self Catering Cottages and Guest House
Nestled amidst the tranquil Eastern Cape bush, 3040 On Freshwater beckons you to experience a serene retreat in our self-catering guesthouse accommodations. Embrace the peace that envelops our property, where a lush Milkwood tree garden provides a haven for a delightful array of indigenous birds. Our haven, just a short stroll from one of the Eastern Cape's pristine beaches, or a brief drive to the scenic rivers and other natural wonders of the Sunshine Coast, promises a tranquil escape amidst nature's beauty.

We have various units for you to choose from and enjoy. Each one differs in style and space ranging from a bachelor unit, which boasts a small private pool, to a 5 bedroom guest-house which is complete with all the luxuries you may need for a family retreat. Every unit also comes equipped with it’s own private braai and chill area to optimize your relaxation time!
