Amanzi Empilo means “the water of life” in isiXhosa. The self-catering rondawel, built from river rock, is close to the Bell River and boasts fantastic views of the tucked-away valley. It’s ideal for honeymooners or families that want to be very private and enjoy basic accommodation. Off the grid, the bungalow operates on solar, gas, and a hot water donkey geyser.
