The Crowned Eagle House is strategically positioned on the tip of the plateau ridge right next to a small waterfall and the start of the indigenous Goso State Forest, overlooking hundreds of hills. It is an idyllic spot where nature lovers and adventure seekers can hear birdsongs all day long, and crickets, tree frogs, and sometimes owls at night. The house has its own private kitchen and en-suite bathroom facilities.

The Family Rondavel has a double bed and 2 bunkbeds that has shared use of a communal kitchen area, communal ablution facilities with hot showers and a composting toilet with magnificent forest views, as well as a braai area nearby with comfortable chairs.
