It boasts 138 rooms ranging from standard rooms with garden and mountain views to premium suites with their own private pools and relaxing outdoor seating areas to take in the natural landscape.

And at the hotel’s third restaurant, Boma, guests can indulge in some of Africa’s most popular delicacies such as boerewors, bobotie, and a selection of game meat, while listening to the soothing crackling of the fire and stargazing in the clear night’s sky.
