Call us to discuss your special needs. Remember, Otters' Haunt is not a hotel or resort, it is a privately run, intimate venue, ideal for families and groups of friends.

There is much to do in the area, from adventuring in the outdoors to antique hunting. We'll provide the information.

We also have conferencing facilities for small group workshops and brainstorms, equipped with wireless and LAN online, projector and DSTV.

Book well in advance because the venue is very popular.
