Amenities & Facilities

The house is surrounded by lush nature and serenity. An exotique garden is the backdrop to a blue plunge pool and spacious patio, the heart of the house, with its fireplace for braais and a comfortable oversize couch. This swanky oasis also has a well equipped kitchen which affords itself to hosting exquisite dinners. The calm of the morning is best spent on the old style porch with morning sun, the rippling fountain and a coffee.

This home, once transformed from its old Victorian original to an artistic, modern day Victorian charmer.
You leave this distinguished jewel with a fresh mind, waiting for the next opportunity to disappear into this cocoon of decadent allure and a playful twist. The Black House will not stop to inspire or surprise you.

Guest Reviews

Our first ever stay in the beautiful dorp of Robertson was perfect.

Els was the perfect host and welcomed us with her home stocked up on fresh fruit and a delicious Lemon Meringue Pie. This Victorian home dating to the late 1800's /early 1900's has been meticulously restored. The interior design is an eclectic but harmonious mix of antiques, art deco, Africana and contemporary. Highly recommended and looking foward to going back in Summer.

Els' house was also homely, relaxed and spacious enough... Read this review
