The guesthouse is situated on the slope of the Small Waterberg. The original 1930’s manager’s house was converted into guesthouse.
In addition to guesthouse, there are two ‘bush bungalows’ situated about 500 metres from the main guesthouse. The truly unique bungalows are built according to the traditional Herero method.
As Herero tradition dictates, the basic structure of the bungalows are fashioned from wooden poles (or “latte”, harvested from non-indigenous invader bush, thus assisting in the combating bush encroachment. These are then covered with a mixture of clay from termite hills, mixed with “ombumbi”, which is smeared on by hand by the women of the village.
While the bungalows themselves are constructed with only natural materials, the interiors of bungalows offer all the modern amenities to ensure your comfort. They also offer the unique choice of showers either inside or outside surrounded by breath-taking views!
The traditional African grass-roofed “lapa” next to the swimming pool offers al fresco dining and a fully stocked ‘honesty bar’. Here guests can sit on the wooden deck and watch the floodlit waterhole as antelope, warthog and the occasional leopard come for a drink, and in turn, be watched by our resident family of baboons
