Late afternoon at the lodge, and we’ve just picked a fresh bunch of salad leaves for tonight’s dinner.

One of the things we love about country living is being able to grow some of the ingredients we use when preparing meals for our guests. It might be something as simple as a handful of fresh salad leaves, but it adds a little bit of our home to every meal.

Freshly picked. Home-grown. Prepared with care. 🤍

Tonight’s dinner starts right here in the garden.

Blooms are meeting you around every corner at Winterton Country Lodge @ Rose Cottage. 💜

Our lilac azaleas are putting on a beautiful little show, adding colour and charm to the pathways and gardens. 🌿

Sometimes, it’s the quiet details that make a stay special — a garden in bloom, a peaceful pathway, and a moment to simply slow down and enjoy your surroundings.

Come wander with us. 🌸

🌿 Hello, September 🌿

Spring has arrived at Rose Cottage! 🌸

After the quiet beauty of winter, our gardens are beginning to wake up again — fresh green leaves, little bursts of colour and the promise of warmer days in the Drakensberg.

There’s something special about this time of year at the lodge. The gardens slowly come alive, the mornings become a little warmer, and nature reminds us to slow down and enjoy the simple things. 🌱

If you’re planning a getaway to the Central Drakensberg this spring, we’d love to welcome you to Rose Cottage. 🤍

We found it! ❄️🤍🏔️

Okay… we weren’t quite able to roll a snowman 😂⛄️, but we got pretty darn close!

The further we climbed, the colder it got — and that temperature drop was definitely real! 🥶❄️

Standing there, surrounded by those magnificent mountains with the snow so close, was definitely one of our biggest highlights of this winter. ✨

Sometimes the best adventures are the ones that start with, “Hmm… I wonder if we can get a little closer?” 😉

Worth every single step. 🥾🤍

The road to the white stuff… 🥾❄️🏔️

If the snow was calling us yesterday, this was our answer! 😉

We set off from Monks Cowl, heading up towards Crystal Falls, on to Blindmans Corner, and then looping back via Keartlands Pass.

What a hike! 🌿🥾 The trail takes you through such beautiful, changing scenery, with the magnificent Drakensberg revealing itself from a completely different angle around every corner.

And, of course, the higher we climbed… the closer we got to that tempting white stuff! 🤍❄️

A definite must-do hike if you want to experience the mountains from a few different perspectives. And yesterday, with the snow dusting the peaks, it was extra special. ✨

But did we actually get close enough to the snow? 👀

Stay tuned... 😉

The snow was calling… ❄️🏔️

We woke up yesterday morning to the most beautiful sight — the mountains all dressed up in white. 🤍

And while the view from our entrance was pretty spectacular… well, seeing the snow from a distance just wasn’t going to cut it! 😂

So naturally, we did what any sensible people would do… we put on our hiking shoes and went looking for it! 🥾❄️

Because sometimes you just have to get a little closer to the magic. ✨

To be continued… 😉

Snow-covered mountains. ❄️🐄🏔️

A very beautiful winter day on the road towards the Central Drakensberg today 🤍

You know it’s a real winter morning when even the plants are shivering and the water pipes take a little longer to wake up! ❄️🥶

Our garden is sporting a serious coat of frost today, but we are keeping things beautifully warm and cozy inside for the rugby later 🔥
