Style and Character
The 16 suites are comprised of thatched rondavels (a round hut) arranged in a half moon around the landscaped gardens. The main building houses the 1871 restaurant, bar and a lounge lit by a roaring fire every night. The design is that of a colonial home with modern twists, combining framed prints of old maps and newspaper clippings detailing the early exploration of Africa, with bold bespoke wallpaper, chandeliers and plush velvet sofas.
Service and Facilities
There’s a modest, kidney-shaped pool in the garden and no gym. An inventive array of treatments using organic Africology products, containing ingredients such as Rooibos and African potato, are offered in rooms. They can organise all manner of tours, but the options are less bespoke: on a Zambezi cruise, for example, you’ll join a 150-person boat instead of a six-seater offered by other luxury establishments.
The Rooms
Rooms are bright and light with a canopied king-size bed; an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, roll-top bath, robes and Africology products. Each has a lounge with a complimentary tea and coffee station with nibbles in jars, but – rather frustratingly at this price point – a sparsely stocked pay-for minibar. Another grumble is the lack of privacy on your veranda. If you want the best view of the watering hole ask for rooms eight to 11.
