Die Ezindala Farmhouse, which means recycled things in Zulu, has been furnished using old collectable, loved and recycled decor in line with our green and off Eskom’s grid, sustainable approach. This old colonial style Farmhouse is elegant and enchanting with six en suite rooms, each of which has been themed with recycled treasures. Each room has a double bed and a single bed “flop spot’’ with en suite showers with skylights. In all the rooms, the beds have stunning wraparound views of the conservancy through double French doors that lead out to their own private stoeps with table and chairs. Each room has a very private an intimate feel. Per night Bed and Breakfast R 450 per person sharing with breakfast. For the weekend or two nights Bed and Breakfast R 750 per person sharing with breakfast.
We have The Lace Room, reminiscent of days gone by when ladies would sit together and create exquisite crocheted lace work. These old recycled treasures have been framed and the lace creates an elegant and whimsical feel to the room. The Refilwe Room or The Gift Room is filled with gifted items, recycled cards and gift bags, The Chic Room is decorated with antique and beautiful old handbags and other old collected and recycled feminine decor, The Rainbow Room is a celebration of our Rainbow nation and features walls painted in traditional ways used by the Sotho and Ndebele. Adorning the walls is beadwork, traditional recycled Zulu hats and literature on the cultures of South Africa. A note on the 11 official languages celebrates our Rainbow Nation and our pride in our cultures and diversity. The Bridle Room is a play on the word, ”bridal” and is a tongue in cheek assortment of our old leather martingales and bridles and items of equine bondage combined with beautiful features like a beautiful old Spanish Piano shawl and delicate tassels and drapes.
There is a large kitchen for self catering if desired, alternatively we supply our famous gourmet picnics, (please see the attached for menu details) and breakfast and we also have a beautiful riverside restaurant. A lounge with a fireplace and French doors lead out to the gracious wide stoep which surrounds the farmhouse. Comfortable outdoor couches allow guests to enjoy the beautiful treed garden with its swimming pool, braai area and lapa. A hilltop fire pit with breathtaking views of the Conservancy and Magaliesberg, is a great place to chat and unwind in the evening.
Its outdoor lapa and small conference room means it can be used for small wedding ceremonies, conferences and workshops. It is also a Wellness Centre and we invite facilitators and healers from all disciplines from time to time to offer workshops and healing, from animal communication to life coaching and even body alignment and spa treatments.
It has been a challenge of creativity to create the themes and collect and collate all the recycled treasures collected by our wonderful friends who rummaged in old suitcases and donated things from their personal treasures. To all our old treasured friends, thank you all for your generous gifts.
