The farmhouse-style kitchen has a beautiful hand-crafted herringbone brick floor and French doors that lead to the terrace. The raised swimming pool in the walled garden resembles a Karoo farm dam. Both bedrooms have queen-size four-poster beds (with extra length) dressed in 100% pure white Italian linen and goose down duvets. Classic Karoo shutters and ceiling fans cool the bedrooms in summer and in winter there's cashmere and heating.
