Altes
Landhaus offers a choice of seven spacious suites, two deluxe suites and
one charming double room. All rooms feature en-suite bathrooms and a
range of modern conveniences, including TV, air conditioning (heating and
cooling), ceiling fans, safes and telephone. In addition, bedroom suites
offer a comfortable, private sitting room, bathroom heaters, towel
heaters and hair dryers.
The
homestead’s magnificent gardens are evidence of a climate which boasts
360 sunshine days a year: an abundance of red and white rose blooms,
soft lilac Jacaranda blossoms and old, shady trees frame a plush expanse
of well-tended lawns. Summer hues, fragrant scents and the dry, hot
Karoo air provide an intoxicating backdrop for the clear turquoise waters
of our salt-water swimming pool, tucked away in a tranquil corner of
the homestead’s garden, and featuring a friendly pool bar. Leisurely
walks around the scenic grounds of Altes Landhaus provide many an opportunity
to admire the indigenous bird life, or the farm’s own ostriches. The
idyllic charms of the Garden
Route – sandy beaches, leafy forests, golfing greens and scenic
mountain passes – provide a diverse choice of exciting day outings.
A relaxing day concludes with sunset drinks on the African patio, as
dusk folds its colourful wings around another varied and enjoyable day.
