Mills Manor
Exclusive-use private villa
Mills Manor is an exclusive-use home style villa offering an idyllic and private safari getaway for families and small groups. The villa has a relaxed home-away-from-home ambience and is staffed with a private safari guide and vehicle, chef and service staff. The gables, high ceilings, large rooms and wide wrap-around veranda are typical of the Edwardian farmhouses of the region, built at a time when high wool prices and the ostrich feather boom allowed farmers to build stately family homes. The villa is set on a hill overlooking a waterhole, which means that game viewing continues even after game drives. The Big Five and other game species are free-roaming throughout Lalibela and the waterhole at Mills Manor attracts regular visits from animals.
Facilities within the villa include a well stocked bar, spacious lounge and gracious dining room. A large swimming pool and sun deck, firepit and barbeque area adorn the outside area. The wide, shady veranda offers cool respite from the sun and a place to relax between activities. With 5 bedrooms (3 king rooms and 2 king/twin rooms), Mills Manor can accommodate a maximum of 10 guests. All rooms are air-conditioned and have wide stack doors opening out onto private verandas in indigenous gardens with valley views beyond.
