The patio and garden are alive with the twittering of many wild birds from numerous feeders suspended from trees, are a real joy for the weary traveller looking for a light snack or refreshment!

Each and every of the 51 rooms varies in size, shape, and decor. All are en-suite, equipped with air-conditioning and all modern day amenities to ensure a luxurious stay. Each room also houses one or more priceless antique from the Rembrandt collection in pristine condition. The yellowwood floors, Persian Carpets, and antique furniture take you a step back in time and a journey through this living national monument.Next to the swimming pool area is Stretch""s Court, which is a cobblestone street, lined with colourful shutters and bougainvillea. The accommodation is situated here with safe parking close to the rooms. The imposing slave bell reminds of a time when these cottages were emancipated slave quarters. The Thibault function room can accommodate a maximum of 90 guests at a banquet and De Wijnkamer, a traditional V.O.C. Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (Dutch East Indian Trading Company) dinning room, accommodates 20 guests. The pool area is ideal for larger outdoor functions.
