Rooms
The two upstairs rooms were designed to be guest rooms and have high ceilings with bamboo between exposed wooden beams. This creates a unique charm. The floors are wooden and have natural fibre mats for comfort and quietness. Furnishings are of an ethnic flair and these rooms therefore have an “African” or “safari” feel. All rooms have double bed sleeper couches.
