Set
in the vast expanse of the South African Great Karoo,
this beautiful homestead/lodge dates back to 1850. Built
slowly and soundly to the exacting standards and architectural
style of the time, the building remains unchanged with
characteristic high ceilings, original wooden floors and
wide verandahs which offer guests a sweeping panoramic
view of the Karoo landscape.
The
homestead is a haven for the world weary traveller, and
for those who want to escape city life and experience
the beauty, silence and unassuming simplicity of the vast
open spaces. Originally
commissioned by a Victorian English Gentleman, Alhusen,
the homestead was built as a hunting retreat. Once a year
he would invite friends from both England and Scotland
to travel with him to the homestead to hunt, relax and
enjoy good company.
Accommodation
The self same atmosphere can still be felt throughout
the old building even though modern comforts like ceiling
fans, wall heaters, air-conditioners and en-suite bathrooms
have been added to ensure our guests a comfortable stay.
All
accommodation leads out onto wide verandahs. Comfortable
en-suite bedrooms have DSTV, tea & coffee making facilities,
toiletries and hairdryers. Enjoy pre-dinner drinks around
the honesty bar in the lounge, which has a cosy fireplace
for the chilly winter nights.
