Accommodation
Theres is little to prepare you for the sheer chic and panache of this stylish establishment. Each suite has been lovingly restored and decorated in a uniquely distinctive style. No one room looks like any other. From rich earthy ambers to the coolest jades and greens, some furnished with pieces which were meticulously handmade by owner Hilsa van Heerden, and others, with beautiful period furniture, restored to their original beauty.
Justifiably one would want to return again and again if not for the delicious farmhouse breakfasts, then to sleep in another suite to experience the "Melkboomsdrift Charm"
Each suite and self-catering unit it equipped with a fully stocked bar fridge for your convenience. Coffee and tea facilities are available as well - fresh farm milk in your fridge daily and fresh homemade rusks.
Televisions are standard in all suites and include all local channels as well as M-net and DSTV. Internet and fax facilities are available on the premises.
