Stunning mountainous views surround the venue by 360 degrees.

During the day time the tranquil garden with its gentle brook and excellent variety of plant life as well as the large pool offers a soul invigorating experience. A short day walks for the more adventurous at heart winds up the mountain. AccommodationRoom 1 - Die Kliphuis Kliphuis (translation Stonehouse), so named because of the stones which belonged to the original house of which was knocked down and in honor of Solly and Sarah Williams, parents to Benita. The stones were shaped to build the façade of the fireplace formed part of the old Kliphuis as well as part of the foundation of the house. This room displays a chair that belonged to Sarah’s mother and a round table handmade by Solly.This room is the flagship of the house. Room 2 - The Silvermine Silvermine offers visitors a very cozy room and at the same time creates an idyllic hideaway – ultra cool in summer without the need for any cooling system. In the winter the heating system brings marvellous decadence. It reminds us of the silver mine we can still find in Simonsberg Mountains – no silver left though yet in our mind, named appropriately. This is a very private room with its own entrance to the pool and garden. Room 3 - Blue Gecko With its magnificent view over the pool area as well as the Simonsberg Mountain majestically standing by as a silent sentinel this room with it bright and breezy colours pay homage to its immediate surroundings and influences. A stunning garden adds to the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. In the bathroom Listello’s with its mounted gecko’s anchor the idea of Blue Gecko. Room 4 - Die Peerboom Peerboom (translation Pear tree) is lovingly named in honor of Peter’s parents, Jan Cyster and Ester Cyster.
