Known by their proximities to the rose garden or the paddocks, each of the 12 individually styled en-suite bedrooms is a separate living area, with comfortable couches, telephone, satellite TV and mini bars. Ten of the bedrooms have loft rooms especially designed for children and some have private plunge pools for those hot Cape summer evenings.

The tastefully decorated rooms display some desirable objects d'art, antique furniture and original oils. Whether bathed in cheerful sunshine or warmly lit by lamps and firelight, they add a languid glamour to Kurland's spacious, comfortable interiors.
