On 15 and 16 January our project team had a conference at the beatiful Hakuna Matata in Muldersdrift. We started at 08h30 on the Friday morning and worked right through until after 18h00. Only then did we check in and go to our rooms. I was pleasantly surprised, the room was absolutely stunning, totally different in so many ways but it's the kind of room I would want to book when Jacques and I go away without the kids for an anniversary or getaway.
The room is very secluded with a private area before you get to the door, with hangmats where you can relax. The room is on two levels, on level one is a little lounge area with a fireplace and television (who would want to watch tv at this place anyway?), and a balcony looking out over a private little waterhole. It is really very private, there is no other buildings in this view and the waterhole is surrounded with plants. The bathroom with an inside as well as outside shower is also on this level. On the second level is the bedroom, basically there is only space for the bed but it is absolutely beautiful, complete with mosquito net and again a stunning view.
Everything is very earthy, concrete floors decorated with stones and very rough walls - it all helps to create an awesome atmosphere.
Even though I did not have a lot of time to spend in this room, I took everything in and even got up early on the Saturday just to be able to sit on the balcony and listen to the birds and take in the view (that after a very late night being beaten at poker!).
I have a few more photos, which I will post over the next few entries.
