Both the bedroom and lounge lead out onto the wooden deck through glass sliding doors, where you can relax on deck chairs and soak up the sun or sip sundowners at sunset and listen to the sounds of night owls and the calls of forest night animals. A braai/BBQ area is provided just off the deck, where one can enjoy an open-air fire, make a potjie or have a braai/BBQ.
Proud to be eco-friendly, all rainwater is harvested and filtered giving a clean non-chlorinated supply for drinking, cooking and washing. A septic tank/french drain combination takes care of the wastewater.
