Pet Policy

Crooked Cottage is proud to offer fully fenced pet friendly accommodation in Hartbeespoort. Up to 4 large or 5 small dogs are welcome per booking (R250 per dog per stay). The enclosed 200sqm garden allows for safe off-lead play, but dogs must remain on-lead when walking outside the property due to free-roaming game such as zebra, giraffe, and horses.

Dogs are not allowed on the furniture or beds. Guests must bring their own bedding and feeding bowls. A dog mat and water bowls are provided. Dogs may be left unattended briefly if they are not prone to barking or destruction, but owners accept full responsibility. Please clean up after your dog, especially if booking cottage servicing during your stay.

There are no resident dogs on the property, but local livestock and wild animals may be seen. Pet owners are expected to ensure their dogs are calm and respectful of the animals nearby.
