The main farm house was carefully planned, from the location to the architect style. It is newly built with attention to space, comfort and entertainment in mind. The expansive lower level is an open plan area composed of a modern kitchen with a separate scullery and laundry room, dining area and lounge with a fireplace, built-in bar and guest loo. Bass beams were used to create more floor space. The stacker doors open up onto the patio with a built-in braai for seamless flow to the entertainment area. Enjoy your sun downer in the plunge pool on those hot summer days, with a view of the farm and hills in the background.
Wooden stairs leads to the first floor with the sleeping quarters and an informal lounge with a fireplace. All the rooms have Air-conditioners and fans and walk out onto a balcony with beautiful views of the farm. The 2 guest rooms share a bathroom with a large door less shower.
