Deluxe Room

The original manor house, dating back to 1890, is still used to accommodate guests, and even the newer structures retain the classic elegance and charm of the manor house. All rooms do, however, boast modern, luxurious amenities.

The 14 Standard Rooms are located in the original manor house and each has a small lounge area with a private balcony from which to enjoy beautiful garden views. Each room is individually appointed and features a flat screen LED satellite television, mini bar, air conditioning and a spacious en suite bathroom.

  • Absolutely gorgeous. Exceptional service - not enough adjectives to describe the beauty of the place. Should have spent more time there to wind down a bit.
