Giraffe Manor

Turn down for what? The adorable hot water bottles they place under the sheets before you turn in!

Are you on the list?

Understated and welcoming entrance.

View of the four post bed with steps up to the balcony where you'll awake for a face to face early morning visit with the giraffes.

This is why I give sleep a 4 out of 5 below. You can't resist hopping out of bed at the crack of dawn for this!

Oh, hello friends.

This plush, eclectic gathering space fills with guests and visitors each day for tea time, cocktails and story sharing.

Classically elegant dining room where you can choose to dine with the other guests staying on property. A fun, intimate way to get to know each other. And the food was delish.

Even the plates have gilded nods to the stars of the show.

Trying to teach her knock knock jokes but she's only interested in a snack.

Will my gel mani survive this? (Fun Fact 1: the giraffe's saliva is antiseptic. Fun Fact 2: I didn't actually get a gel mani to go to Africa, guys...)

A pedicure? Yes, c'mon. Here I am kicking back trying to read a book and getting beautiful distractions.

The quiet wood paneled study. Where you will spend no time. Because, giraffes.

A classic you can't sit with us moment.

Many an afternoon G&T was prepared with the goods from this liquor cabinet. Did I mention it's all complimentary?

After an exhausting day pretending to pose for Peter Beard, collapse into the sofa and be served tea and snacks by the fire.

When the giraffes have retreated for a while it's nice to wander about the beautifully manicured gardens and take a peek into the orchid greenhouse.
