Rondavels
There are also 2 rustic brick and thatch rondavels in the garden with views of the Tsitsikamma Mountains and fynbos. They share a separate kitchen in the wooden cabin. The rondavels are our Beat the Budget option – with no unnecessary & costly frills – suited to the budget conscious traveler/backpacker who still wants comfort and privacy. Each rondavel has an ensuite shower and toilet - all linen is provided and beds are very comfortable.

Driftwood is the larger rondavel and can sleep 3 people – it has a Double bed, an additional single bed and small seating area – the more comfortable and spacious option – suiting the longer stay or more mature guests..
