Inside the rondavel

A view of the sitting room. The rondavel has two main rooms, a sitting room with a single bed, a double bebroom, and a kitchette and ensuite bathroom. (Please ignore our junk on the bed!)

A couple more views of the sitting room.

The double bedroom with mosquito net.

A small but useful kitchenette.

And best of all, above it all, the beauty of a thatched roof.

A perfect place to spend a while before or after a hunting safari with one's family or friends, while enjoying the Cape, its wines, food and scenic locations.

I particular like these thatched cottages. A dream of mine is to build one (or more) myself one day at home in the Barossa Valley. I particularly liked this example as Klaus has built it not in the usual circle, but two half circles, the rear circle being considerably larger so as to fit the kitchenette and bathroom in the extra "portion" of the larger circle on each side.

Therefore I take a lot of photos of these sorts of buildings and thought I would share a few with you.
