The Manor house is graded 4 star by the Grading Council of South Africa

The Manor House is a beautiful and tastefully decorated country farmhouse which has two en suite double bedrooms and a four sleeper family suite. All the rooms take in sweeping views of the dam and surrounding countryside. Each room is supplied with tea and coffee making facilities, and have heaters for winter warmth.

All of the bedrooms in the Manor House are special! Each has its own character and theme, which is the result of three generations of our family's love and dedication to the farmhouse.

The Blue Room is the most grand of all the Manor House bedrooms, with its eye-catching restored wooden floors. It has stunning views over Cliffe Dam, the garden and rolling hills. This double room also has its own fireplace and access into the garden. The en suite bathroom is a large, carpeted room with a bath.

The Green Room is another very comfortable double en suite room, with superb views of Cliffe Dam and the surrounding countryside. The room is bright, airy and fully carpeted, and the bathroom is fitted with a bath.

The Family Room consists of two inter-leading bedrooms. The main room is a double, and the second has two single beds. It is also located on the front side of the house, with views of the dam and surrounding farmlands. The large bay window makes a great reading and relaxation area. The bathroom is separate but is next door and dedicated to the room.

Breakfast is served in the dining room, around a striking, custom made White American Oak table, warmed in winter by a roaring fire. Fireplaces are a prominent feature of the house and the atmosphere that they create greatly enhances the Midlands winter experience. The collection of old and new books that line the walls of the public lounge area offer hours of interesting reading. The lounge is equipped with TV, and the pool table provides hours of entertainment on a rainy day.
