Both offer roaring log fireplaces (perfect for the Cape winter) All cottages have en-suite bathrooms, ceiling fans, fireplaces and mini-bars.

The Honeymoon Suite boasts a Jacuzzi with spectacular views across the Reserve.

The purity of the night sky has been described by one visitor as, "A bouquet of diamonds as I have never seen before."

Conference Centre/ Boma Restaurant & Cigar Bar:
The Conference Centre, Boma Restaurant & Cigar Bar, as with the Luxury Cottages, are built from natural materials found on the Reserve such as rocks, river pebbles, reeds, wood and thatch to blend with the surrounding environment. The natural setting will afford the Conference delegate a tranquil ambience in which to host functions such as AGM's, Teambuilding courses, Product launches etc.

The Conference Centre can comfortably accommodate 40-80 delegates for a myriad of function formats.

"To marry the external beauty of the Reserve with the Conference facility was paramount in the design, layout and overall feel," says Searl Derman, owner of Aquila.

Non denominational Chapel:
Plans are presently under way to construct a non-denominational "Chapel" with an entire wall of glass & stained glass which will be the focal point of the Chapel and also the backdrop to the beauty and panoramic expanse of the Reserve. Aquila is soon to be set as a unique & unparalleled wedding destination due to the intimate Chapel, wide-open spaces, majestic mountains, rivers, valley's and kloofs.

Cuisine:
Aquila offers a truly South African culinary experience that affords a varied menu to suit all tastes and dietary requirements.
