The Dutch House has the character and feel of a fine 18th century colonial house. The Cape-Dutch architecture has many attractive features and fits in well with the surrounding landscape.

The owners have gone to great lengths to ensure an authentic look by using antique doors and windows, including a satinwood and ebony staircase, all reclaimed from old colonial houses in Sri Lanka.

"Character and feel of a fine 18th century house"

The stylish reception room is utilized for both relaxing and dining. All the rooms feature fine furniture and pictures in keeping with the Dutch style. 

At the far end of the reception room is a large 18th century style log burning fireplace, inset with beautiful Delft tiles.

"All with views of the surrounding mountains"

The antique staircase leading from the reception room, takes you to the landing with its fine hardwood floor that continues into the three large comfortable bedrooms, all with views of the surrounding mountains.
