Room Types
Queen Elizabeth Suite (1)
The ceilings of this suite are of Spanish reed and are tied in the traditional manner. The beams are local Pine. The king-size bed was made by our cousin Adin from Canary Pine to his own design, as are the side tables and lamps. The mattress was custom made for us by the School for the Blind in Worcester. The sleeper couch (day bed) is another one of cousin Adin's carpentry originals and is made from indigenous woods; namely Black Ironwood, Stinkwood, Yellowwood and Leadwood. To convert the couch into a bed, the backrest is simply lifted out. The cupboard and dressing table are early 20th Century oak pieces that for many years were resident in Silverhurst, Constantia, and were inherited by cousin Adin from his mother. On being restored they were found to have been painted green on top of white on top of a dark stain. The windows are made from Blackwood in the traditional Victorian style.

Double Delight Suite (1)
The ceilings of this suite are of Spanish reed and are tied in the traditional manner. The beams are local Pine. The queen-size bed is made from Yellowwood and Kiaat to cousin Adin's design, as are the side tables which are made from Canary Pine and Cypress. One of the lamps is Yellowwood and the other Hard Pear. The mattress is the latest Sealy Posturepedic Plus which, we think, you will find a superb mattress. The coffee table and side tables are made from Tambuti, a wood that grows north of Pretoria. This is an exceptionally hard and heavy wood giving off a slightly astringent aroma. African tradition believes that by keeping a piece of this wood in your room, all flu's, mosquitoes, etc., etc., including tokoloshes (gremlins), will be kept away. The chairs are genuine leather made by Coricraft of Cape Town. The Yellowwood kist at the foot of the bed was made by Adin from old beams extracted from the first building erected at Rhodes University in Grahamstown. The cupboard and dressing table are made from Kiaat, the top of the dressing table being Black Ironwood and Yellowwood. The windows are made from Blackwood in the traditional Victorian style.

Peace Suite (1)
The two single beds and dressing table are made from old Stinkwood and were manufactured in Pretoria at the turn of the 19 th Century. The coffee table was made early in the 19th Century for the Cloetes of Cape Town and is in fact made from Stinkwood that was cut in the mountains behind Swellendam. The chairs are genuine leather and made by Coricraft of Cape Town.
