The shared house has a formal lounge, an entertainment lounge with a TV, a dining room, a wine gallery and tasting room, a chef’s kitchen, a pool deck with an outdoor shower and daybeds, and a boma for fireside dinners. Each of the four guest suites (130 m²) has a king bed that can be split into twins, an open-plan bedroom and lounge with a fireplace, a walk-in dressing room with a double vanity, a bath and a double rain shower looking into the bush, a separate WC, a minibar, a coffee station, air conditioning and a private deck with a daybed. Suites three and four interleave for families. The villa covers 640 m² and comes with its own host, butler, chef, spa therapist, guide and tracker, and an electric game-drive vehicle.
