The interior also features a full bathroom with a bath and shower, alongside a fully equipped self-catering kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, stove, and dining space.Outside, the cottage provides an outdoor braai patio with dining furniture and a private, fully fenced lock-up yard.

Small, well-trained pets are permitted by prior arrangement. Guests staying at Pepper Tree Cottage can explore the semi-arid Karoo landscape, engage in bird watching and wildlife drives at nearby Karoo National Park, or take historic walking tours around the town of Beaufort West.
