Ashanti Facilities

Join us in our groovy café bar for some tantalizing cocktails while listening to some soothing tunes, or lie back and relax on our wooden sundeck overlooking the pool and take in the outstanding panoramic views of Table Mountain. Our popular weekly pool competition (Tuesday nights) and all the other activities and events we offer in the Kumasi Cafe make it a central gathering point.

Many a decadent night can be spent here partying with fellow travellers and our local staff - sometimes it just madness! Watch the latest sports action on satellite television or, snack on an ice-cream-covered waffle or a quick pizza and try the local and regional beers. We also have an ever-changing wine list offering you the best tastes of our wine producing region - available by the glass or bottle.

Lights meals are available from 7.30am to 10pm and in the morning you can feast on anything from freshly delivered croissants to a big hearty fry-up. Our menu includes filled foccaccia and pitas as well as tasty fresh crisp salads and quick toasties.

SWIMMING POOL:

COMMUNAL KITCHEN:
For those of you who have to (or want to) cook for yourself because you have spent all your cash, we have a huge fully equipped self-catering kitchen. The hot water is always bubbling here for your complimentary tea and coffee.

GARDEN:
Chill out in the tranquil surroundings of our front garden that is shaded by many palm trees and watch the squirrels hop around and the lively activity in the birdbath.

BBQ:
We have brilliant barbecue facilities that you are welcome to use at your leisure. During hot summer months we often hold really great barbecues which usually turn into raucous parties.

CHARITY BIN
For many of our guests it is the end of the road and their last stop before heading home so they often have clothes that they don’t wish to take back home with them (sometimes also the result of buying too many African curios).  The well-placed charity bin is therefore often full and all donations are gratefully received by various charities in need.  Ashatni is also a founding member of The Tourism Community Development Trust which also benefits from these donations.

For your convenience we can send or receive faxes for you and hold your mail for you to collect. We also have a post box so you can be sure your postcard will get there! Stamps available at reception.

BUZZING RECEPTION:
This area - the focal point of daily activities - has everything to offer you -  
T shirts, stamps, postcards, film, cameras, hairdryers, padlocks, adaptors, towels and lots of friendly advice.

We have a "What's on" board updated regularly with regional events as well as a Weather Board and you can do your foreign exchange here. Our alternative receptionists who know what's going on in this town are here to serve your every need.
