DeKotzenhof Guest House, situated in the second oldest town of Mpumalanga, Wakkerstroom, known as one of the safest towns in South Africa where children can ride their bikes and not feel unsafe.
This intimate guest house accommodates up to ten guests on a bed-only basis. Each of the en-suite rooms is thoughtfully appointed with either a double bed or twin beds, and includes tea- and coffee-making facilities for added comfort. Bathrooms are fitted with showers, while the exclusive Executive Suite, set apart from the main house, features a private verandah and a bathroom with a luxurious bathtub.
Guests are welcome to unwind in the inviting lounge, which includes a peaceful reading nook and a collection of games to entertain children on rainy days.
Hearty breakfasts and delicious dinners are available and served in the on-site restaurant.
The main attraction of Wakkerstroom is the birdlife, with grassland and wetland birds found in the region. Wakkerstroom is world renowned for birding specials, and hosts the South African Birdlife Centre. Experienced guides are available to take birders on guided drives or walks.
The Wakkerstroom area is steeped in history (the main section of DeKotzenhof Guest House was said to be built in 1906.) Many of the buildings have been restored to present a small quaint town revolving around churches, and where sheep, goats and horses are found grazing next to the houses.
Mountain bikers, dirt trail bikes, fisherman and hunters are also well catered for in the area. The scenery, sunsets and photo opportunities are fantastic. Art classes are held frequently for anyone wanting to brush up on their skills or learn from scratch.

Dekotzenhof provided tasty meals and very comfortable ' sleeping quarters' for us whilst my husband explored the birding in the area. The lovely room gave us everything we required. Lots of reading material available as well as tea, coffee biscuits and sherry. Breakfast and dinner were excellent although there is no choice other than the hosts do check your eating requirements.
