Plover Cottages offer the ideal stopover for the weary traveler and adventurous tourist in the beautiful countryside of big sky country. Guests can come and breathe the fresh air of the Orange Free State, South Africa. Plover Cottage caters for the overnight traveler and those visiting Bloemfontein who prefer the peace and quiet of the country to the noisy city. The cottages are furnished with antique and collectable furniture with heaters and extra blankets in each room for the cool winter nights. All the units offer cooking facilities for those who prefer cooking for themselves. Continental breakfasts are available with dinners on request.
