     Our Blesbok Suite is the fourth of our suites, which comes equipped with two twin beds pushed side by side, a wonderfully comfortable sleeper couch, and a business-man type bathroom, only a shower for the "man-on-the-go".

     Blesbok's sleeper couch is ideal for a youngster with his parents, or the frugal trio who all want to share the room to cut costs a little. Whatever the case may be, Blesbok is one of our guests' favorite rooms.
