Stone Terrace Suites

Low, private, and close to the grass.

The three Stone Terrace Suites sit lowest on the ridge, each on its own terrace of sandstone, with a fire bowl, two low chairs and the grass growing right up to the edge.

A Stone Terrace Suite bedroom: a low bed in oatmeal linen faces open steel doors onto a sandstone terrace, tall gold grass and the cliffs beyond

They are the simplest suites at Malandra, and many guests’ favourite. The steel doors open wide, so the bedroom and the terrace become one room; the bed faces west, towards the cliffs, and the afternoon comes in across the floor.

Inside, the walls are lime plaster and the floors smoked oak. There is a deep shower in a plastered bathroom, and a second shower outside, walled in the same sandstone as the terrace and open to the sky.

The day, from this room

  1. At dawn

    Kudu and impala graze the grass below the terrace before the heat. Coffee arrives at the time you chose the night before.

  2. In the afternoon

    By two the terrace is in the shade of the roof, and the stone stays cool underfoot.

  3. After dark

    Light the fire bowl yourself, or ask and someone will. The terrace is the best seat for the stars on the ridge.
