During the heat of the day, the manor offers plenty of spaces to relax with a good book or a drink, perhaps around the swimming pool, in the garden lounge or out in the gardens. Alternatively why not try one of the many rejuvenating spa treatments at the Spa.
You have the option of enjoying traditional cuisine in the main dining room, under the pepper tree or outside around a blazing fire at the Barn. There’s also the magical river lapa for a dinner in the African bush.
