Rondavel (traditional hut)

Rondavels are round houses that are copied from the Xhosa and other African tribes who build round houses. Traditionally they are built of a stick frame covered with mud and then thatched. All these materials are freely available on the African veld (grass land). South African resorts use this style commonly as a style of accomodation. They are basic but cool and very comfortable. Usually consist of 2 bedrooms, bathroom and common area with a kitchenette. In this weather the family spends very little time inside and this is very pleasant for the time one does.
