I only stayed there for one night. The whole place is huge and so are the rooms. It has soething special to it, since it used to be the palace of one of the ostrich barons, but somehow lacks atmosphere.

The outside of the building is a little old but my room was totaly freshly decorate and the bathroom had a tub on a very beautiful yellow wood floor. A very strange stay in the middle of "klein karoo", an... more

Wir waren nur eine Nacht dort, wobei wir die Geräumigkeit der Honeymoon Suite genossen. Der Boden knirschte etwas, die Badewanne... more
