The large master bedroom is open plan to the en suite with bath, shower, twin basins and separate WC. The double sliding doors in the bedroom provide a view of the garden and direct access to the patio area, whilst the folding window at the bath will allow you to bathe whilst enjoying uninterrupted views of the outdoors and the sounds of the bush. The second bedroom which offers lovely views to the mountains and direct access to the patio, is conveniently located adjacent to the shower room.
The study, which also boasts views of the dramatic mountains, accommodates two people with ease, and provides a large and comfortable desk area – ideal for working from home.
Both bedrooms and study also feature ventilation screens, allowing the sliding doors to be secured whilst permitting a flow of air into the rooms. The fully equipped kitchen and separate scullery has everything needed to enable you to enjoy your holiday, including a washing machine, gas hob, electric fan oven, microwave, fridge with water cooler, freezer and coffee-making facilities.

The welcoming living area flows seamlessly to the tasteful outdoor area, where folding doors can enclose the patio area in the event of inclement weather.
The covered patio accommodates the dining table and a further seating area. The patio area is a wonderful place from which to enjoy the bush and surrounding countryside, from the colours of the sunrise reflected on the Drakensberg Mountains, to the spectacular African sunsets.
Externally, a gas-powered braai is available for use, as are two boma areas, one adjacent to the patio and one located in the shade of the garden under the majestic knobthorn tree. Wood is provided for guests wishing to use the bomas. Enjoying time in and around the heated swimming pool is a pleasure, thanks to the additional shade afforded by the pergola, and the integral seating along two of the sides of the pool. The four sun loungers which are fully adjustable, can be positioned on the large patio area as desired. To the front of the villa, there is adequate parking for up to four cars, including space for two cars under the car port. Seen frequently around
