This is one of the many places we stayed whilst on holiday in South Africa in 2004.
Drostdy Hotel, Graaff Reinet. We had been travelling for quite a while and this was our treat as it was not a cheap place to stay, but it was so lovely. The flowers are Bouganvillia.
Some history of the place:-
The residence of a landdrost (rural magistrate) was known as a Drostdy and included his office and courtroom as well as his family's living quarters. The Graaff-Reinet drostdy was built in 1806. It has been fully restored and is now the focus of a unique hotel complex. The hotel and reception are in the drostdy whilst guests stay in the restored mid-19th century cottages built for freed slaves along Stretche's Court (my photo above).
