A Fishwife’s Favourite ...
She’s the wife of a fisherman who lives, breaths, eats and exists for the ocean ... He’ll arrive home with scaled, gutted, and prepared Hottentot ready for the baking and she’ll do what she does best to make sure when the ‘Hottie’ comes out of the oven her family is armed, with a fork each, ready to tuck in straight from the pan. The best part of this dish? The skin which holds all the flavours. Whatever you do, don’t share it with Kitty. Being The Fishwife of Greenfish fame she’s more than happy to share her recipe and enjoy a glass of chilled Kaalvoet Meisie with her Fisherman ...

Beautiful scenery.We had a great time relaxing and staying. The cottages are on a beautiful farm and it was really just a pleasure to stay there. Lochner quickly solved our gas geyser problem. We will definitely stay with them again - and this time we will take our friends with us!
Peaceful relaxation space.Tailswaai met all our requirements. Parents could visit and everyone could play on the wonderful lawn. Stargazing was an unexpected bonus and we also had fun playing in the dam. Little kids could spread their wings. The team was wonderful and helped us quickly every time with a few small requests.
Peacefully cozy fantastic. Very peaceful, enjoyable, fantastic stay. Waking up to the silence of the farm was the best ever. Rain on Sunday made everything very cozy. Would love to book again.
Was a great experience being there. Would like to make a turn next. The place is very nice and quiet. Enjoyed a late evening braai with free firewood. Nice breeze from the mountains.
