Shades of Africa is a relaxing bed and breakfast retreat, is built on the adjoining property, for ultimate privacy.
It is situated in a typical Klein Karoo indigenous garden, complementing the
ethnic architecture. For the sophisticated young at heart, looking for something
unique, we offer an African experience with comfort, tranquillity and style.
Love for our land of great beauty that is huge
enough to embrace anything and influenced by
the cultural diversity of our history,
was the inspiration behind
the composition of Shades of Africa.
To enhance the many facets of African simplicity,
the guesthouse is filled with
comfortable furnishings and everyday artefacts,
including unique traditional
baskets with intricate patterns, made from grass,
reeds and leaves of the Ilala palm.
The slate floors are covered with sisal and grass matting: the white walls hung with carefully, selected African paintings and prints, colourful brooms, wall hangings, antelope horns and masks.
Alet has a passion for simplicity, natural textures and gaiety of colour.
In designing and decorating, she was influenced by nature and its surroundings
and have used a mosaic of existing elements to adorn what she calls her "little Mexico".
There are interesting grass brooms fixed as décor elements against the
walls, while dyed thorn twigs and corn cobs, selected grasses and reeds
are displayed in a variety of ethnic containers.
