These rooms were all built on the original stone foundations of the three different gold mining ruins, dating back to the 1850's, linked with shady stone pathways, lantern lit at night. All rooms have WIFI, solar powered lights and power points, unaffected by Eskom power outages. We normally have good reception for 'WhatsApp' on your cell phones.
