This is country living, Russian style, at its finest. Rooms are inviting and cosy, the air smells of wood fires, and the grounds themselves are ridiculously Arcadian with roaming geese and chickens. The attached cafe serves up wholesome, hearty food such as soup and cabbage rolls, as well as beer on tap. There's a banya (R1800 for two hours) too.
