Enjoy a Comfortable Stay

At our 3 self-catering cottages, we go beyond just offering a place to stay—we provide a home away from home.

About

Welcome to Tsitsikamma Gardens Self-Catering Cottages and Restaurant, comfortable and convenient accommodation in Tsitsikamma along the scenic Garden Route. Ideally located just off the N2 highway, our property offers easy-access accommodation near Storms River and the Tsitsikamma National Park, making it the perfect stopover or holiday base for travellers exploring this beautiful region.

Set in a peaceful garden environment next to a working dairy farm, our three self-catering cottages — including one pet-friendly option — offer stunning garden and mountain views. Due to our location directly alongside the N2, traffic noise can be expected at times — a small trade-off for our excellent accessibility and central location.

Our Tsitsikamma accommodation is perfectly suited for adventure lovers and nature enthusiasts. We are only 14 km from Storms River Village and 29 km from the Tsitsikamma National Park. Enjoy a wide range of activities including hiking the famous Otter Trail, forest walks, canopy tours and ziplining, kayaking and lilo adventures in the Storms River Gorge, and mountain biking. For thrill-seekers, experience bungee jumping from the world’s highest commercial bungy at Bloukrans Bridge.

Guests can relax in our tranquil gardens, ideal for bird watching, or unwind on a private patio surrounded by nature. Cottage guests also have access to a swimming pool at the main house, perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring.

Tilly’s Restaurant at Tsitsikamma Gardens offers delicious breakfast all day, making it a convenient on-site dining option. Visit our Restaurant page for trading hours and more details.

Whether you’re looking for Garden Route accommodation, Tsitsikamma self-catering cottages, or a convenient stop near Storms River, Tsitsikamma Gardens offers the perfect blend of comfort, location, and natural beauty.

"From the moment we arrived, we felt at home! The cottage was spotless and beautifully decorated, with thoughtful little touches like fresh flowers and cozy blankets.

"The accommodation was very cozy and nicely decorated, with a great location. Even though it’s on a main road, it was very quiet. The large garden with all its different plants was definitely a highlight. Tilly was a great host and made sure we had a lovely stay. We especially loved the delicious breakfast.”

– Isabella

"We really enjoyed staying here! Surrounded by farm life and beautiful surroundings. Tannie Tilly was the absolute best. Always helpful and she even helped us arrange a running route on one of the farms ( that is actually private). She went out of her way. Our cottage was very clean and it had all we needed. Tannie Tilly really thought about everything. We will definitely go back!"

– Liandi.

"Second time back at Tilly's cottages. Clean, beautiful inside and out. Tilly is quick to respond and always has excellent hospitality. Both visits were special and complimented with Tilly's personal touches."

– Sinomtha.

"Sheila is a wonderful host. She is super friendly and takes care of everything. Both breakfast and dinner were extremely delicious. The accommodation is located directly on the highway and you can hear the cars, but the accommodation is surrounded by a heavenly garden. The two nights were wonderful and the place is highly recommended!"

– Moritz.
