The wild horses of Kaapsehoop are a mystical presence in Mpumalanga’s misty hills, roaming freely through forests and grasslands. Believed to descend from Boer War cavalry horses, they have adapted to the rugged terrain, thriving in the cool, high-altitude climate.

Hardy and sure-footed, these semi-wild horses form tight social groups, adding to the village’s enchanting atmosphere. Kaapsehoop, known for its swirling mists and scenic trails, has become a haven for nature lovers seeking a glimpse of these untamed icons. Their presence weaves history, mystery, and wilderness into the soul of this hidden gem.

"In this image, taken in 2016, Ruben played a pivotal role in crafting the mosaic spiral that now adorns the shower floor of Stone Owl Cottage.

Spirals and circles have been revered throughout history for their symbolic and aesthetic value. In the case of the Stone Owl Cottage's shower floor, this mosaic spiral transcends mere decoration. It embodies a timeless symbol of unity, growth, and the cyclical nature of life.

The spiral, with its continuous, winding path, represents the journey of life itself, where we embark on a constant cycle of experiences, growth, and renewal. It mirrors the natural rhythms found in nature, from the unfurling of ferns to the whorls of seashells.

So, as we admire the mosaic spiral crafted by Vincenzia, we are not merely looking at an artistic masterpiece, but a symbol of the profound and timeless themes of unity, growth, and the interconnectedness of all things.

As winter's icy grip begins to loosen, a subtle change starts to ripple through the air in the little village called Kaapsehoop.


The anticipation of spring hangs like a whispered secret, igniting a sense of excitement that's hard to contain. The days gradually lengthen, casting a warm golden hue that dances upon the mountainous landscape. Budding trees, awash in a palette of soft pastels, signal the earth's revival from its slumber in this picturesque village.

With each passing day, the air carries a renewed vitality, inviting a symphony of cheerful chirps and melodies from birds returning from distant lands. Nature itself seems to hold its breath in eager anticipation, as delicate blossoms emerge from the barren earth of the mountain, carpeting gardens in a riot of colours.

As the first delicate blooms unfurl their petals, a palpable energy courses through the veins of all living things. People start emerging, shedding heavy coats for lighter layers, as if shedding old worries to embrace the promise of the new season.

In this enchanting transition from winter's grasp to the tender embrace of spring, Kaapsehoop's transformation echoes the heartbeat of nature itself. As delicate blossoms awaken, so too do the spirits of the village's inhabitants. The symphony of nature's resurgence intertwines with the melody of human hopes, as they cast aside the weight of yesteryears and step into the sunlit tapestry of tomorrow.

With each unfurling petal and every step towards the burgeoning landscape, Kaapsehoop becomes a living testament to the eternal cycle of renewal, reminding us that even after the harshest winters, the most vibrant springs await those who dare to believe in the magic of change.

Autumn is an excellent time to go walking. You might even argue that autumn is the best season for getting out in nature. The weather is nice since it is not too hot nor too cold, the leaves are dropping, and the hues in nature are changing. There are several reasons to love the season of colours!

At Stone Owl Cottage, we believe that the outdoor season lasts all year, and autumn is one of our favourite times to be outdoors! This time of year is wonderful for bonding with nature and might even help you improve your mental health.

One of the most appealing aspects of autumn is the transition of colour from brilliant green to warmer tones. Autumn practically explodes with colour, and wandering through it will make you appreciate nature even more. It's a good idea to bring your camera so you can record the colours you see. The low autumn sun will make it even warmer. With animals preparing for winter, the chances of seeing wildlife are also extremely high!

Aside from the profusion of colour, autumn walks have been shown to help combat the low energy levels that commonly accompany the change from summer to winter. After a brisk fall stroll, eight out of ten individuals report feeling happier, healthier, and calmer. Not only will the fresh air and exercise help to improve your spirits, but the natural hues surrounding you will also assist you to feel calmer and more relaxed.
