Outside you will find a "stoep" that wraps around two sides of the house, watch the sun rise with cup of "boeretroos" or poor yourself a sundowner and relax as you contemplate life while looking out over grasslands and old outbuildings. Around the back you'll find a large enclosed backyard underneath mature blue gum trees. A perfect spot to braai the ultimate lamb tjop.
