Fully equipped kitchen is used in our description, the cottage is very spacious. Self catering is a more affordable way of travelling especially for families but also preferable for those on special diets like our body builders and others. Many guests Braai (BBQ) rather than cook, South Africans are crazy about that, perhaps because of our great weather. Even our long term Swedish guests braaied every night after we treated them to a genuine South African braai ;)
I encourage self catering as it's much easier on the hosts too ;)
