Travel adds extra stress to the already demanding working day!

And to make it worse, come evening, there's nowhere to call home. Luxury hotels present an impressive face - doormen at attention, reception staff in starched uniforms, soaring lobbies, indoor gardens.

But it's hard to feel at home in an environment shared with busloads of tourists or in an air-conditioned, beige and cream suite with all the warmth of a hospital room. The modern business traveller needs an environment which emphasises comfort rather than the brand identity of an international hotel chain, a place to feel like a guest - not a battery hen.

The establishment is located in a quiet suburb overlooking the beautiful rugged koppies (hills) of the Florida Hills area and has a wonderful relaxed homely atmosphere and the feeling of being far away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

You will be welcomed, not by an uniformed employee, but by the owner, Marietjie. In the simple, smokefree rooms the emphasis is on quality: all have en-suite bathrooms and create an inviting environment.
