African Romance Cottage spans 118 m² with a 28 m² patio garden and a single king bedroom. Garden Cottage offers 99 m² of living space and a 20 m² patio with fountain. Treetops Apartment, set on the first floor among old trees, measures 79 m² and opens through Juliette balconies onto a landscaped terrace. Peacock Suite displays antique peacock-and-garden friezes and mountain views from its bedroom window. The two-bedroom apartment accommodates four to five guests across 132 m² and a 22 m² patio with Table Mountain visible. All units contain basic kitchenettes, smart televisions, and climate control.
