Fourteen charming Cape Dutch-style cottages dot the property. Most sleep two, although single rates are available. Four library suites near the garden library have private patios; four thatched cottages overlook the duck pond; the secluded Beni Abbes hermitage cottage (named for a small monastery in the heart of the Sahara Desert) is serene, and two cosy spiral cottages lie near the garden well. The separate house has two bright bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a living room/dining area, and garden views.
