DESCRIPTIONFrom the moment you walk through the front door you know its time to put your feet up and relax. This spacious, comfortable home has a light, airy quality which makes you want to kick off your shoes and enjoy the cool cement floors. Every window leaves you checking for the wildlife that is all around you. The home has an elegant simple feel with the sense of space and comfort resonant in the old colonial homes in Africa. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The main bedroom occupies one full wing of this u shaped house. It's wonderful. The extra length king size bed is dwarfed by the size of the room. A massive walk-in cupboard area has a dressing table and leads to a large bathroom with His&Hers sinks and showers, as well as a large bath for two. The other 2 bedrooms occupy the other wing of the house; - The Blue Room has a queen size bed and the Green Room has 2 singles or a King Size bed, with a bathroom between the two rooms. The rooms all open onto a central patio/ pool area overlooking the bush and a well used waterhole. Close to the house is an exceptional enclosed boma with a serving hatch and there is a viewing deck from which you can observe the distant mountains bordering Mozambique and miles of bushveld in between. Truly words can't describe the sense of space and peace engendered from the Colonial House. It's a place you want to be, and will be again.
All rooms have ceiling fans and the bedrooms all have air conditioners. There is a TV and we supply DSTV as well as a DVD.
