The Breakfast Room
The Dining Room in the main house
Your hostess, Reinette Te Water Naude, has developed a charming series of guest suites in the former wash house. Decor features include antiques, brass beds, woollen carpets and Persian rugs. Original doors hand carved by Zanzibar slaves for Cecil John Rhodes' estate, Groote Schuur, can be admired in the main house.
The Drawing Room
The Stained Glass Door
The Lounge
The stained glass door from the original Te Water family home (now an antique shop) provides a gracious link between the main dining room and drawing room with its yellowwood ceilings. The opulently appointed lounge is one of five living areas which include the sun porch, drawing room, enclosed patio with bar and the lapa area near the swimming pool.
The 32 roomed lodge is situated away from the hustle and bustle, in a park like garden on the banks of the Sundays River and is frequented by colourful birds, like the Paradise Flycatcher and Kingfishers. You can spend time in the delightful shady garden and have a dip in the swimming pool if you so wish.
