Eljé's Cottage is a peaceful guesthouse with an environmentally friendly green energy approach (totally off grid) in the heart of the Vredefort dome, walking distance from the centre of Parys town, where all the nice shops and restaurants are found. Come enjoy a relaxing night's rest with recently renovated, fresh modern clean rooms. All the rooms have a private unique en suite bathroom with motion sensors and extractor fans for the guests ease of use. You can rest easy as there are no electricity or water outages as Eljé's Cottage relies on state of the art green solar energy and off grid clean water (purification and filter station) supply providing safe drinking water in all taps. There is free wifi to keep you connected, whilst enjoying the relaxing and peaceful setting. The Lapa and braai facilities can be used by prior arrangement.
Your hosts like the outdoors, care about the environment, like being creative and embrace technology. They are security conscious and provide ease of mind to the guests that they are in good hands. Guests are always welcome - the hosts like to chat over a fresh cup of coffee or a nice fire in the braai place. They like making guests feel welcome and can arrange to make it extra special for that special occasion.
This guesthouse is in the middle of town, a short walk away from all the shops and restaurants. This is a safe centralised spot to undertake your next adventure. Parys boasts of excellent outdoor adventures like white river rafting, sky diving, horse riding, hiking, golfing, fishing, cycling, canoeing, 4x4 routes etc in the Vredefort dome.
