Assendelft is the ideal overnight stop for long distance travellers. It offers four elegantly decorated double, air-conditioned bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. Each room has its own private entrance with an outside patio where you can sit and enjoy a drink while you take in the surroundings of the Karoo or do some star gazing at night.
If you enjoy being close to nature, our tented chalets at the Bush Camp are for you. Each chalet has its own braai area and for larger groups, a communal braai area is available where you can sit around the campfire, under the stars at night. Wood is available from the lodge for making a fire or enjoying a braai. Lights in the chalets are solar powered and hot water is generated by donkeys.
Each tented chalet accommodates one to three guests in single or double beds and has an en-suite bathroom with a shower. Linen and towels are provided. Basic cutlery and crockery are available in each chalet. There is a self-service bar area located near to the fire pit and deck area, which is ideal for large groups to socialise together.
