Guests thus have the choice of either: a three roomed full suite apartment, a two roomed half suite with double bed and sleeper couch or a twin bedded room with en-suite bathroom with shower. In addition, the suite has three remote controlled split unit air conditioners and two television sets with DSTV providing Super Sport and Movie Magic channels.  High quality beds and bed linen is a norm at the lodge.

Minutes away are the excellent McGregor Museum, collections of contemporary art and colonial Old Masters, the Big Hole - some no-nonsense naming there! - and Rhodes’s Kimberley Club. Slightly further afield lie the Kamsferdam flamingos and the Boer trenches at Magersfontein. Fascinating stuff. There is plenty to do in the area too. Go to the Big Hole Museum. Consisting of original and carefully reconstructed buildings this museum has preserved a  great deal of the city's past. The Eureka, the first recorded diamond discovered in South Africa, can be viewed at the museum. Have some fun sifting through diamond bearing gravel, looking for your own diamond. Play skittles in the old bowling alley, or just stroll through the old buildings which have been reconstructed here at the museum.
