It is, however, the bathrooms that will truly impress the discerning traveller. Apart from the bath and the large, separate shower, double basins are set on either side of the bath along with ample shelving for toiletries, etc.
With power outages a reality in South Africa the possibility of a cold shower is very real but not at Blackheath Manor! Our hot water system is based on sophisticated gas-fired geysers which will continue to provide hot water even after prolonged power outages.
An uninterrupted power supply (UPS) system has also been installed which will ensure that each room has at least one light and one plug point (dedicated to laptops) that will continue to operate when there is a power cut.
Lounge & Dining
Guests are invited to relax in the spacious lounge where they can read, watch TV, join other guests for a chat or entertain their visitors.
Adjacent to the lounge is the dining room, bar and patio where scrumptious traditional or fusion breakfast is served to guests and where our conference delegates can enjoy their meals.
After a hard days work (or fun!), guests can enjoy drinks in the relaxed atmosphere of the informal bar, or on the patio while watching the sun set over our beautiful, landscaped garden.
