Some rooms include a wood-burning stove and electric blanket to ward off the winter chill. A few back rooms have direct access to the car park. The colonial-era decor, with antique furniture and historical pictures, reflects the hotel's history dating to 1869.

The hotel's restaurant serves buffet or à la carte breakfast and dinner. The menu features seasonal specials, Eisbein, and chicken cordon bleu. The pub, off the dining room, is a local gathering spot for stories and drinks. Guests can also order packed lunches for day trips. The fireplace in the dining room adds comfort during cold weather.
Leisure
Guests can enjoy hiking, cycling, and bike tours in and around Wakkerstroom. Onsite entertainment includes billiards, a snooker table, and live music or sport events. The library offers books for browsing. The garden features a BBQ area, outdoor fireplace, and sun terrace. Birders will appreciate the bird-themed decor and the fact that Roberts of the Roberts bird guide stayed here for three years.

“This establishment truly captures the charm of a bygone era, with its colonial decor and architecture creating an immersive sense of history. The dining room, warmed by a fireplace, provides an inviting atmosphere for enjoying a menu that consistently impresses, whether you're drawn to seasonal specials or comforting classics. It's a place that understands the importance of simple comforts, like a well-appointed room with an electric blanket and a wood-burning stove, complemented by attentive staff who ensure your stay is worry-free.”
