The accommodation and facilities are in turn-of-the century style architecture. Sandstone walls, wooden floors and corrugated roofing blend into the indigenous bush and ancient ruins that surround the lodge site, along the bank of the Heys brook.
At Heysbrook the accommodation is made up of a centrally positioned lodge comprising of the living areas. The bar, dining room, lounge and several indoor/outdoor verandas and wooden decks flow from one area to another. The adjacent kitchen is an integral part of the lodge, providing one with homely atmosphere (and a chat to the resident chef, Marlize). A loft holds a portfolio of selected wines. There is DSTV in the bar and in the conference room.
The lodge has spectacular views in all directions, up and down the valley as well as across towards the mountains framed against a setting sun.
On account of the cold highveld air that flows down the valley in winter, there are wood burning fireplaces in all rooms.
The ten bedrooms, each en suite with fireplaces in the bedrooms (and most in the bathrooms!) are generously spaced apart from the lodge and from other bedrooms.The closest bedroom is some fifty metres from the lodge and the furthest some 150 metres, along a meandering wooden boardwalk that takes you through the three hundred year old stone kraal ruins, around which the lodge was built. All bedrooms are large (approximately 50m2), have private views from the baths, outdoor showers and mini bars. All bedrooms can accommodate two single or one king size bed.
