In the middle of the lodge, there is a pond where weaver birds like to nest. Right next to it we built a library with a small sunset bar. Here is a TV with a cable connection available to learn the latest from all over the world. On the roof, you have a great view and you can watch birds on the roofs of the trees. A birdwatching veranda at the pond has also been open since December 2014.
The veranda is surrounded by blooming flowers and bushes. The ideal place to take tea. Next to the Sunset Bar, there is a pavilion that we use for demonstrations. Small seminar groups can also be accommodated here. Special interest groups can also make excellent use of this space, such as yoga or meditation.
There has been a small spa section since December 2014. This is equipped with a sauna, a relaxing jacuzzi, and a massage room.
