EAGLE’S EYRIE

Self-catering accommodation for groups and intimate events.

As the name implies, Eagle’s Eyrie refers to the nest built by an eagle high in the mountains.  Located on the upper guest facilities terrace, it features a majestic view of the Helderstroom valley.  The lower Cottages terrace is within walking distance from Eagle’s Eyrie, with about 100 meters from the closest and 170 meters from the furthest cottages.

This venue and its amenities are ideal for group-based self-catering gatherings.  Facilities include accommodation for up to 20 people in two dorm-style rooms, a large fully equipped kitchen, braai area and fire pit, function hall comfortably seating up to 80 guests, a lounge/bar area to socialise and relax, and a small pool.

Eagle’s Eyrie, including all its available facilities, must be booked as a single unit.  This ensures privacy and exclusive use for guests who booked the venue if there are other guests in the Cottages.
