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.

self-catering kitchen. The hot water is always bubbling here
for your complimentary tea and coffee.

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.
