Visit us in the beautiful nature of Manley Flats, on the bohemian side of Grahamstown, just 20km from city centre and relax in an atmosphere of love, art and magic.
Restaurant&Countryvenue: Our restaurant and countryvenue is fully licensed and opens on weekends and on request. A spacious hall, which can open wide to the garden, houses the bright Yellow 1938 Wurlitzer Butterfly Grand Piano, done in Great Art Deco Streamline Style, and which is our wellknown trademark. In the hall you can enjoy an exquisite sunday lunch or dine fine, laze some time upstairs on the green lounge on the loft or you can frequent the bar and contemplate about the huge bottle window depicting a pea-cocktail.
Our food is home cooked using best ingredients and is cooked with pleasure. Pescatarians, vegetarians, vegans as well as meat munchers will get their fill. For breakfast you can choose between an english breakfast, toast and sandwiches, cereals, yoghurt, fruit, omelette, pancakes, pap, porridge or more.
For dinner we offer a set menue, which is prepared to the requirements of our valued guests and availability in season. You can get something hearty or something finicky, but always something wholesome.
We love food and cooking and we do not use MSG, margarine or microwave!
We are still creating and constructing, but we do already offer the following:
Accommodation is in cottages on our farm, which is surrounded by a game fence.
Watch our springbok, zebras and donkeys from closeby or take a walk to the riverside and enjoy nature and wildlife. At night you can stargaze and listen to the sounds of the crickets and other nocturnal creatures.
If it is to cold, you can warm up yourself at a fireplace and sip a bonewarming Glühwein. If it is to hot, you can take a refreshing dip in the pool.
If you are tired, you retire to your room. Your autocar will rest safely in closest proximity.
Our cottages are furnished in different styles:
The Afrique cottage is sheltered by large plants, which make a cozy patio garden. It is furnished in „spartan meets afro-kitsch“ style and has 2 connected rooms, one with twin beds, the other with a single bed. Toilet and basin are ensuite, shower to follow soon (however there are shower facilities in the big bathhouse). The cottage has a TV and provides tea&coffee facilities.
The Out-in-Africa cottage is furnished somewhat colonial, most impressing is the bottle window showing a springbok and the large stunning view into nature. However, if nature is not enough, there is a TV. Tea&coffee facilities are provided. This very romantic cottage has a double bed and a divan in a spacious room and is only a few paces away from the big bathhouse.
Cottages with other themes will be available soon.
