All 3 rooms (2 suites, each with a separate lounge, and one large twin) open onto a sunny stoep and overlook the pool with uninterrupted views of the Outeniqua mountains beyond.  Each has its own private entrance, full ensuite bathroom, bar fridge, coffee/tea-making facilities, TV/radio/CD player, hairdryer and ceiling fan.  Start the morning with a hearty English or continental breakfast before setting off for a day’s exploration of the many attractions of the capital of the Garden Route and its environs.

If sightseeing tours are more to your taste, you’ll have endless options.  A visit to the ‘ostrich capital’ Oudtshoorn, the awe-inspiring cango Caves and Swartburg Pass, wine-tasting at the local Herold estate or in Calitzdorp, the Outeniqua Hop Country Drive and a scenic steam train ride on the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe from George to Knysna are all highly recommended.
