Antbear Guest House GUESTHOUSE Estcourt Description
The Antbear visitorhouse, originally built in the 1940's and newly restored near sculptor Bruce Attwood, gets its name from the previous resident who lived beneath the floor boards before restoration. Eccentrically refurbished using wood gathered in the nearby valleys, the Antbear combines comfort with a individual surroundings. Using a fifty-year-old outhouse for the basic framework, Bruce created a individual visitor-house and home in the rural hinterland of Kwazulu-Natal. The original structure consisted of two traditional rondavels, or thatch covered huts, connected near a stop, or veranda with an overhead trellis. Perched on a kind of natural platform looking over the Bushman's river, the house has panoramic views of the Drakensberg Mountains for 160 Km. unwind, enjoy the view, take walks around the farm and savour the scrumptious food prepared near Andrew and Conny. There is a lot to be seen and done in the vicinity. Experience some exquisite bushman rock art at Kamberg or drive up to Giants Castle and spend some time in the mountains. Day walks or overnight stays in the caves or mountain huts are both po ible and very worthwhile. For those of you who are fanatical about trout then you'll find yourself in the right vicinity. The safari feeling can be found in the Weenen or Spieonkop game reserves and of course the midlands meander offers plenty of opportunity to buy some local craftwork or just have a pleasant drive.
