Hoopoe Rondavel

ROOM DESCRIPTION

This round dwelling is traditionally built in the African style, using poles, clay and thatch grass. These natural materials create a structure that is well-insulated against summer heat and winter cold. The cosy room has a three-quarter bed with an electric blanket, feather duvet, bath towels, and en-suite shower, toilet and handbasin. This room is ideal for a single person seeking peace and privacy away from the main lodge. Swimming towels are available from the Lodge reception. A tray with a kettle and filter coffee makes you feel at home right away. We provide creamy farm milk from our own herd of Jersey cows. The unit is serviced daily at no extra charge. Set amongst a copse of indigenous trees you may be lucky enough to see the African Hoopoe bird after which this rondavel has been named. The central shared guest kitchen is fully equipped with a stove, oven, microwave, fridge, kettle, pots, crockery, and cutlery. The shared guest lounge is well suited to the Drakensberg winters with a wood-burning fireplace in the open plan lounge / dining room area. There is a central guest braai boma area. Solar panels on the property ensure an uninterrupted power supply. The on-site restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and a 3-course dinner. No pets allowed as our land borders the Drakensberg Mountains World Heritage Site.
