Host Information

8.3
Host review score
Umsinsi Cottage was added to The Fever Tree Guest House portfolio as a place that families can spend and affordable holiday. The cottage sleeps 4 with the possibility of an extra bed being added to either room. Each bedroom has a television and wi-fi is available in the main complex.
Hluhluwe is a typical small rural South African village. We have a number of supermarkets, banks and general stores as well as two fuel stations. If you are craving bright city lights and endless parties, this is not the place for you. However, if peace and quiet and being near to nature is what you enjoy, this is where you will find it.
