Welcome to The Snuggery Cottage in the picturesque town of Howick, gateway to the KZN Midlands. Nestled in a 1940s property with solid brick walls and oodles of character, the Cottage is ideal for one or two people. Whether over-nighting, or staying longer, guests are welcome to unplug, visit our chickens and ducks, light the fireplace, play card games, read a book or head out and enjoy the sights and beauty on offer in the KZN Midlands.
I'm Sian (pronounced "Shaan"). I live with my husband (Gary), our kiddos (Grace and Adam), one debonair dog (Digby), two cats (Molly and Georgia) and seven chickens (Fritz; Scarlett, Madge, Sybil, Tania, Eloise and Maizey). I adore the country life (having grown up on a farm in the Free State) and have lived in Howick for over a decade. We're passionate about home-making and gardening. We're equally passionate about our town and are delighted to welcome guests here.
