Puschka Farm - Blaaubank Cottage

In the distance is the old railway station and goods shed which has been turned into a crafts and curio shop & if you are lucky you will see a train winding through the valley on its way between Johannesburg & Botswana. High up on the hill opposite is the historic Blaauwbank Gold Mine which pre-dates Johannesburg & which is open to the public.

Using the cottages as your base you can explore the area both nearby & further afield. From the mine, antique, craft & furniture shops & restaurants of the village you are within easy striking distance of the Sterkfontein world heritage site with the Sun City & the Pilanesberg Game Reserve are about 1½ hours away.

The larger cottage has three bedrooms each with a queen - size bed. Its character wooden floors, ceilings and windows compliment its corrugated iron roof and front stoep which will remind you of eras gone by. There is a braai (barbeque) area under a large pepper tree.

The smaller cottage has corrugated iron outer walls giving it a truly Victorian mining town feel which is accentuated by its inner wooden walls, ceiling & floors. Its single bedroom with queen - size bed makes it an ideal romantic hideaway. It has its own braai (barbeque) area.

Both cottages have fire places and DSTV.
