Just a few hours drive from Cape Town brings you to the ideal destination of Tankwa Karoo National Park(close to Sutherland), for those of you seeking a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse of a rare endemic bird, or perhaps nothing more than a silence that reaches deep into the soul.
The fully equipped cottages blend superbly into the surrounding landscape, being constructed on the contour of the hillside and positioned in such a way that they are not directly visible from one another. Built using traditional methods and materials of unbaked bricks and clay plastering. The large picture windows afford wonderful views of the Roggeveld Escarpment.
