Rooms in the main house
The en-suite rooms are beautifully furnished in
contemporary African style. There is television, the facility to make
fresh African coffee and tea, and, when available, tasty home – cooked
treats to welcome you.
A special note for the
allergy sufferer: all the rooms have

The quirky fun Zebra room, with its en-suite
wet -room, is a lovely bright spacious room, with a very comfortable
queen sized bed. This room has been designed to ensure that
disabled visitors can enjoy their stay - there is plenty of room for
wheelchairs, and the contrasting colour scheme is of benefit to
those with visual impairment - and the TV has a large screen too. |

This is a huge room - the spacious
environment, beautiful polished oregon pinefloors and gorgeous
safari style en-suite shower room all create a unique atmosphere and
a touch of African luxury. The room is big enough for a family of
four to sleep in comfort - but a couple can luxuriate in the space,
and lounge around in the leopard bathrobes provided! |

A lovely cheerful sunny room, which is ideal for older children
travelling with their parents, or the business traveller who would
prefer not to pay a single person supplement. It does not have
en-suite facilities, though it is in close proximity to a private
bathroom. This slight inconvenience is reflected in the price of the
room. |

The sun drenched deck, overlooking the Langeberg mountains, is where guests are served a legendary breakfast. Nothing is too much trouble for your hosts, who go out of their way to ensure that special dietary requests are met, and that no-one leaves the table hungry. Everything is freshly prepared - the oranges squeezed to make juice, fantastic fresh fruit salad, yoghurt, muffins, cheese, cold meats, 'proper' coffee, a choice of teas - all these are just in preparation for David's stunning full English Breakfast - eggs prepared just exactly to your own liking. And - to top all that - you can choose whatever time you would like it!
Breakfast is prepared
Breakfast is served indoors...
...on the patio
...or in the garden
On cooler days, breakfast is served in the elegant guest lounge, where a log fire is lit and guests can enjoy a glass of wine and lively conversation in the evening.
While you feast on your sumptuous breakfast, you can enjoy not only the view of the stunning Langeberg mountain range, but also the sensory indigenous garden, which is designed for everyone to enjoy, with wide paths for wheelchair users and fragrances and textures which those with visual impairment can particularly appreciate. The colourful garden is one to which a huge variety of birdlife is attracted, and binoculars and a bird book are always a close at hand to settle curiosity about unusual visitors to the garden!
The delightful cottage has so many extras that you will want to come back again and again to sample them! It is ideal as a base to spend a holiday - with the family or friends - just a few minutes' walk and you are at the base of the Marloth Mountain trails, which you can undertake on foot or by bike - there is a beautiful nine hole golf course also a few minutes walk away. David and Amanda are happy to put together fun packages and days out for you - try their Adrenalin Adventure, Family Fun, Epicurean Experience and / or Wildlife Watching two/three day packages. They will book everything for you - you just have to enjoy yourself.
