Accommodation is provided for artists on the property in
the private, comfortable self-catering Waterfield Guest House (the original
farmhouse, which has been renovated). Facilities include en-suite
bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, dining room, television/video, a
wonderful rambling garden, barbeque or braai areas and a swimming pool. Fresh veggies, fruit
and nuts are available from the organic garden, while supermarkets
are close by. There are fish in the dam if you care to cast a line!
Waterfield is surrounded by farmland. Our neighbours grow macadamias,
avocados, vegetables and tobacco and their fields ramble over gentle
hills. At the bottom of the valley is the Sandriver and within easy hiking
distance is a granite koppie that has Iron Age ruins surrounding it.
Vervet monkeys, bushbuck, mongeese, duikers and a great range of birds can
be seen. At night fruit bats come to eat off the indigenous fig and yellow
wood trees that grow in the garden. The dam and surrounding springs are
home to a vast array of frogs whose calls fill the air on summer evenings.
The irrigation canal from Witklip dam meanders through the garden and
provides the sound of running water throughout the year. Waterfield is a
place of peace.
Each bedroom is provided with mosquito nets and overhead fans. Waterfield is above the
malaria belt and neither our children nor us take anti-malaria medication,
but it is advisable to take it if you plan to explore the area and
especially the Kruger Park.
The Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport is a twenty-minute
drive from the studio. There are also regular shuttle busses from
Johannesburg and Pretoria to White River. We will gladly collect
guests from the airport or from town. If you are driving, let us
know and we will send you a map. We look forward to seeing you! For
rates please contact us.
