Julay House
This spacious ecologically designed home lends itself to pure relaxation. This building in itself is worth gazing at for the materials used and extraordinary craftsmanship. The modern yet natural interiors lend to the sense of comfort. With its large undercover verandah that watches over the lawn, enclosed lily pond and indigenous Fynbos, one can unwind completely or watch the kids explore. There is a romantic main bedroom upstairs boasting magnificent views of Formosa Peak, from the king size bed, as well as bedroom with two single beds which opens to the coolness and quiet of the forest. Downstairs there is a private wing, with a draped queen bed and large en suite bathroom, with bath and outside bush shower. These all look out to the mysteries of the forest. Julay has a large lounge with a wood burning fire place, a TV with limited DSTV and DVD player. The double volume kitchen (fully-equipped) and dining area open through double doors onto the verandah. Coming off the verandah is a sun room with two sleeper couches providing more accommodation or purely a space, away from it all. Jispa Cottage
