Evening dining is available upon request for groups of four or more, with options ranging from simple omelets to three-course Karoo dinners. The fully licensed facility can accommodate large tour groups, and several excellent restaurants are within walking distance.
The property boasts extensive amenities including a sparkling swimming pool with an adjacent gazebo, a shady garden with braai facilities and a bar, and a guest lounge that doubles as an art gallery.
