was subsequently converted into a guest house with additional rooms. Following the Soccer World Cup in 2010, when it hosted an array of local and foreign visitors, the place gradually lost its sparkle and allure…until the current owners took it over and completely overhauled Shep- pard to its current sterling four-star status.
Sheppard’s 21 rooms – ranging from an elegant and private garden cottage with its own private garden; a family room consisting of two separate rooms; two exclusive rooms, nine luxury rooms and eight classic rooms, each with a small lounge area – should please even the most fastidious visitor. Besides boasting several spots of beautiful fragrant roses, for me, the variety of sturdy trees and abundance of birdlife in the garden were a personal highlight. As Sheppard is situated next to a natural forested municipal area that will never be commercially or privately developed, the trees lure myriad birds. On my walkabout in the garden, I spotted, among others, chestnut, more rock fig, giant fig leaf, marula, silk cotton, white bauhinia and sausage trees.
