From the owner

The Yard has a farm style house and buildings on a spacious property with a beautiful view on the mountain. We speak Afrikaans, English and German. All rooms have their own separate entrance. Free Safe Parking behind locked gates. Pet welcome on prior arrangement. We love to do up-cycling and this is visible everywhere in the rooms and on the property.

BITS s a free-standing outside building. It used to be the owner's workshop - from where the name BITS (Bed In The Shed) derives from. He has changed this into an on-suite bedroom, playing with old and new to add to the farm style decor that is clearly visible everywhere on the property. Enough windows (secured with burglar bars) for fresh air. Cosy atmosphere and character.
