Giraffe Manor, modelled on a Scottish hunting lodge, is a small hotel which is also home to a number of endangered giraffes.
The tall creatures, whose necks alone can measure more than two metres, are frequent guests at the table of the hotel throughout the day.
But as well as swinging by for food, the nosey giants also have a reputation for poking their heads through the hotel doors and even peeking through the windows of guest's bedrooms.
