Each evening, we serve a delightful three-course menu at our family dining table, catering to your individual dietary preferences.

Immerse yourself in the comforts of an honesty bar, tea and coffee making facilities, en-suite bathrooms with invigorating showers, in-room amenities such as heaters, ceiling fans, electric blankets, cozy ostrich leather slippers and gowns, hair dryers, and complimentary South African port to savor on the patio as a sublime sundowner. Each room and cottage bears the name of a local plant, animal, or bird, emphasizing our surrounding birders' paradise.
A highlight of your stay will undoubtedly be the insightful farm tour led by Neels. Every morning at 07:30, you'll have the opportunity for a hands-on experience.
