Swallow Refresh

Posted on Wed October 29, 2025.

This video covers a few changes we have made to the Swallow Unit i.e. filling in a doorway, adding a solid door to the little bathroom and putting in a new mirror.

We’ve made a few thoughtful changes to the Swallow Unit — small tweaks with a big impact. A previously open doorway has been filled in to enhance the tranquility and privacy, and the little bathroom now features a solid door and a generous new mirror. These updates bring a sense of completeness and comfort to this space.

Whether you’re returning or discovering it for the first time, here’s what makes the Swallow Unit such a special escape:

  • Perched on a hill with sweeping views of the Hills and Dales and the Jukskei River
  • Surrounded by abundant birdlife and the soothing sounds of nature
  • One-bedroom layout with a comfortable queen bed
  • Compact bathroom with shower, toilet, and now a solid door and large mirror
  • Cozy lounge area with DSTV
  • Fully stocked kitchen for self-catering convenience
  • Small garden area — perfect for morning coffee or sunrise unwinding
  • Garage for secure parking
  • Complimentary WiFi, DSTV, and a welcoming coffee and tea tray
