Welcome

We live on the farm, so you are never far from a good suggestion

The estate is set on the hills surrounding the Bitou River, with magnificent views over the valley towards the mountains and beyond. It is an easy base for exploring the Garden Route: beaches, whale watching, bungy, safaris and hiking trails are all close by.

We offer everything from bed & breakfast to self catering, and for a more adventurous stay our Ingwelala glamping tents — a favourite with families. Laundry, wifi and late check-out are there when you need them, and we love to help with tours, restaurants and sightseeing.

Eleven hectares of farm

Trails, farm animals, an organic vegetable garden, a bocce court and a herb garden, all set on the hills above the Bitou River.

The lodge & pool deck

An honesty bar, coffee and snacks, a piano and TV lounge, and a pool deck looking out over the river valley towards the mountains.

The Garden Route at hand

Sandy beaches minutes away, plus whale watching, the world's highest bridge bungy jump, safaris and hiking trails.

Guests are welcome

Slow mornings, long afternoons

Relax in the cosy main lodge with drinks and snacks from the honesty bar, then take the afternoon on the pool deck above the river. Whether you are swimming or simply watching the valley change colour, this is the place to unwind.
