All are broadly similar in terms of amenities, though room three is popular with honeymooners because it has a small, private patio and is closest to the swimming pool. Decorated with neutral colours and fabrics, each room has a double or twin beds, an en-suite bathroom with shower and toilet, air conditioning and a satellite television. Extra towels and, for those chilly winter nights, extra blankets are provided; with fluffy bathrobes a lovely extra touch.

Clipped green lawns, sparkling pool, impeccably manicured guest rooms and cheerfully attentive staff help ensure that from the moment you arrive you feel a delicious sense of Dulce Domum - even though the wild beauty of the African veld is just miles from your door.The 6 garden and courtyard facing bedrooms are light, functional and imbued with contemporary, angular good looks. They have great mattresses of the firm-yet-pliant variety and these are matched by top-of-the-range bed linen.Expect a full quotient of gadgetry: TV (discreetly tucked away in a cabinet in most rooms), WiFi internet connection, telephone, hairdryer, safe and a hot and cold air-conditioning unit.
