Lapho nje ukhuphuka igquma usuka engadini yemifino kukhona ichibi lenhlanzi eligcwele isitokwe elabelwe umakhelwane futhi lilungele amapikiniki. Isisele esimbozwe nge-wisteria sihlala eduze kwengobo, futhi izakhiwo eziningi ezingaphandle, ngayinye enesimo sayo esikhethekile nombono wayo, isebenze njengendawo ethule yokukhuthazeka kwezobuciko.

Ngomlando othathe iminyaka engaphezu kwengama-75, lesi sibaya sisanda kuba noguquko olumangalisayo, sashintsha saba ngamamitha-skwele angama-2000 wendawo yokuhlala ekhangayo neyesimanje. Isitezi esiphezulu senqolobane, manje esiyindawo ethokomele, iye yacatshangelwa kabusha ngokucophelela ukuze ivumelane nokunethezeka kwesimanje ne-rustic charm.

Indawo emaphakathi yale ndawo yokuhlala ethokozisayo yigumbi elikhulu, elihlotshiswe ngosilingi ophakeme okhuphukela phezulu, kanye nefasitela lesithombe elikhulu elisebenza njengendwangu ephilayo, elifaka ukubukwa kwentaba okumangalisayo okwembuleka ngale. Lesi sikhala sibonisa imfudumalo nokuthula, sikumema ukuthi ujabule ngobuhle bendawo ezungezile.

Uhlelo lwaphansi oluvulekile futhi olucatshangelwe kahle luhlanganisa ngaphandle komthungo izindawo zokuhlala ezihlukahlukene. Ngaphakathi kokwanga kwawo, uzothola amakamelo okulala amabili athokomele, ngalinye lakhelwe ngokucabangela ukunethezeka nokuphumula. Amakamelo okugezela amathathu aqokwe kahle aqinisekisa ukunethezeka nobumfihlo kubahlali nezivakashi ngokufanayo.

Kulabo abafuna ukuguquguquka, igumbi lebhonasi lilindelwe, elinikeza amathuba angapheli okwenziwa ngokwezifiso-igumbi lokudlala, umtapo wolwazi, indawo yokwenza izinto-umcabango wakho ubeka imingcele. Inhliziyo yekhaya, ikhishi elinosayizi omkhulu, liziqhayisa ngezinto zesimanje ngenkathi ligcina umlingiswa walo wendlu yasepulazini. Indawo yokudlela yasekuseni ekhangayo igeza ekukhanyeni kwemvelo, iyenze ibe indawo ekahle yekhofi yasekuseni noma ukudla okuvamile.

Ukwengeza ingxenye yokukhiqiza, indawo yehhovisi ekhethwe kahle enokubukwa kwemvelo inikeza indawo ekahle yomsebenzi ogxilile noma ugqozi lokudala. Ingemuva lehhovisi liwuseyili oshintshayo wobuhle bemvelo, oqinisekisa ukuthi usuku ngalunye luletha ugqozi olusha.

Uma ufika ezansi, uzothola umlingiswa womlando wesiphala egcinwe ngobuciko. Izitebele ezindala zishintshiwe zaba isitudiyo samaciko esimemayo—indawo yokudala. Lesi sikhala sihlanganisa ihhafu yokugeza ekahle kanye nendathane yokugcina nendawo yokusebenzela, ehlanganisa imisebenzi yobuciko namaphrojekthi akhethekile.

Ngaphandle, amathuba ayaqhubeka nokunwebeka ngaphesheya kweseyili engamahektha angu-3.29 yaleli pulazi elincane lezintaba, elizungezwe endaweni enhle yezwe.
