A Message from the hosts

I am an avid collector of Antiques. Our private garden is a great place to relax in the winter sun. The beauty parlour within the home compound is a great place for massage and beauty treatments. We have many birds and a friendly Labrador in our house. Our house is a blend of old and the new with touches of colonial architecture. It is a safe place for lady travellers even when they may be travelling on their own.
