Each
house is decorated in its own distinctive theme of period prints and
antique furniture, to reflect an atmosphere of understated elegance,
reminiscent of the lifestyles of the English and Dutch Settlers at the
turn of last century. Dinner is served in the Manor House on the corner of
the street. Dining at the Victoria Manor is a country affair, an
indulgence of superb traditional Karoo and South African cuisine.
Die
Tuishuise offers a really unique and different experience (the
accommodation, Xhosa dancing, the "Karoo" food), a refreshing
change from the safari, sea and sand. It adds another flavour to the
taste of South Africa. Facilities include a restaurant, lounge, laundry
and ironing facilities, night porter and open or covered parking. To
complete the South African experience they arrange an organ recital in
the Dutch Reformed Church, modelled on St Martins - in - the - Field,
London. An Afrikaner boy and a Xhosa girl sing an array of typical South
African songs. Escape to the tranquility and romance of yesteryear, with
the old Karoo Charm of Die Tuishuise.
Nearby attractions include: The Mountain Zebra National Park, The Olive
Schreiner Museum, Township tours, San etchings, white water rafting to
mention but a few.
