The bedrooms consist of semi-detached cottages overlooking the Sand River. Each room has access to its own private verandah and has en suite bathroom featuring ball and claw footed baths and showers. Everything is as authentic as possible except the air-conditioning and overhead fan. The only facility not in evidence in the 20's but which is now provided for your comfort is a swimming pool. Breakfast and lunch are either served in the main house or on the shady surrounding verandas.
Dinner is a very special event taken in a reed enclosed 'boma' around a camp fire.

It is this consisently excellent game-viewing which puts MalaMala in a class of its own.
