Our Great Outdoors
In the private manicured B&B gardens include a thatched lapa... just to relax under with a drink or a good book, and there is a secluded braai and dining area with Weber, should you want to eat "under the stars".
The sparkling pool is set amongst tropical palms, and is totally private should you wish to just lie around relaxing, or have a quick dip after work.
For corporates, we have all modern amenities including free wifi via fibre optic line.
The guesthouse is in close proximity to the "hustle and bustle" of all the restaurants and clubs on Florida Road and the Musgrave center, and the Stadium and beaches are a mere 5 minutes drive away.
We can organize day trips to game reserves, as well as golf games... to name but a few.
So... you just bring yourselves, settle in, and get right down to the business of feeling at home.
