A Riverside Retreat in the Heart of the Marico Bushveld

Just 40 metres from the clear, meandering waters of the Groot Marico River, Firefly Cottage is a charming, off-grid wooden hideaway designed for quiet escapes, family bonding, and restful retreats into nature. With panoramic mountain views and the surrounding bush alive with birds and butterflies, this private self-catering cottage offers everything you need for a peaceful and authentic Marico experience.

Surrounded by indigenous vegetation and perched to take in a 180° view of the lush bushveld, Firefly Cottage is a soul-soothing space where you can disconnect from the noise and reconnect with what matters — nature, stillness, and each other.
