Accommodation


The Rosendal has 17 double luxury rooms, all with beautiful bathrooms en-suite, with your choice of two singles or a king-size bed. The finest cotton linen, fluffy white towels and personal touches will ensure that you have a memorable stay in the lovely village of Rosendal. Under floor heating in the bathrooms, fireplaces, electric blankets and locally made down duvets will keep you warm on those chilly winter Free State nights.

All rooms have private outside verandas or gardens, perfect for enjoying a sundowner while enjoying a view of the Witteberge. All rooms are fitted with mini bars, tea and coffee making facilities and tins of homemade biscuits.

Four rooms have been designed as family units, with an inter-leading door between the two suites. These are ideal for families travelling with children.
