After checking intro our room, we were greeted with some sparkling wine. Nice touch!
Two pools on the property but this one was directly in front of our room. We shared it with our neighbor.
Every little nook is a special place.
The welcome / small guide books are both very informative and well designed. The keychain is by local South African jewelry designer Pichulik.
Cozy bed with delicious linen = blissful sleep.
