Our Favorite Rooms

There’s just one: a canvas-and-timber cocoon made for slow living - expect a proper king bed, a deep bath with doors to the outdoor shower, long cook-ins at the pizza oven, unhurried soaks in the wood-fired tub, and a wind-sheltered deck for sunrise coffee and stargazing.

Dining

Self-catering, so bring all the food and drinks for your stay. Full kitchen, braai and wood-fired pizza oven (all tools/utensils supplied).

Packing Tips

Soft bags, sturdy hiking shoes, warm layers year-round, swimsuit for the tub, headlamp, and provisions for self-catering nights (Montagu/Robertson shops). 

Insider Tips

Arrive before sunset and pre-order firewood if you want nightly hot-tub evenings. Bring pizza dough/bases and a favourite topping set to make the most of the wood-fired oven.
