A piece of antique paradise tucked away in a corner, is how I felt when I entered the facility. It felt as if time had stood still for this place for many years.

Perfectly manicured gardens surrounding a hundreds of years old meticulously maintained wood and stone house, all neatly cornered by the Mooi River. I can imagine why the old discoverers called this place beautiful ("mooi").

Not a place to rush, not a place for loud music. Nonetheless the Saturday evening we spent there it was full of patrons all chatting away and enjoying the delicious food we were served.

I didn't sleep over, and by the time dinner was finished I wish I did.
