Restaurants and Cafés
Breakfast
On crisp clear mornings, farmhouse breakfasts are served on the boma deck overlooking the forest and mountains or near the huge fireplace when it is cooler; a delectable buffet with special treats and a glass of bubbly plus a seriously scrumptious variety of hot breakfast items too.
Dinner
At the centre of the Main House is a large dining room table where guests gather at dinner time; dinners being out at the boma with tasty little treats to whet the appetite. The day ends and the full splendour of the African stars shine down on deck as your hosts invite you in to wine and dine in the candle-lit main house. If communal dining is not your thing, there are lots of lovely little areas where you can dine privately.
