Die dik klipmure van die ou blokhuis wat gebruik was om die watergat op die “rooipad” tydens die Anglo-Boereoorlog op te pas, hou die warmte van die kaggelvuur binne gedurende koue wintermaande en die hitte van die somermaande buite. Die eerste eienaar van die blokhuis was E B Watermeyer, die eerste landmeter generaal op Nieuwoudtville, wat dit in ‘n woonhuis omskep het.
Die pragtige oorspronklike ingevoerde Oregan Pine balke ,vloere, trap en kaggel was vanaf Kaapstad verskeep na Doringbaai en daarvandaan per ossewa Vanrhynspas op.
Omring deur groot tuin en bome skep hierdie karaktervolle huis, op die rand van die dorp, ‘n rustige plaasatmosfeer waar die privaatheid van gaste prioriteit geniet.
