The Oaks, the original fishing cottage on Katrinasrust, is nestled beside ancient oak trees in a private garden, ideal for families with children and dogs who want to explore in a safe environment. With a shaded pergola for outdoor dining on sunny summer days and a cozy fire in the lounge for warmth in winter, it is the ideal getaway for those looking to escape to some peace and quiet in a rustic cottage. Having recently undergone a slight facelift, The Oaks still has the quaint feeling that those visiting time and time again have become used to but offers a few more modern comforts too. The most recent addition to The Oaks is a beautiful courtyard deck that includes a KolKol wood-fired hot tub, ideal for stargazing on cool nights or to be used as a splash pool on hot days.
