Company information

Hi, my name is Christine. I'm Australian and have travelled the world, but out of everywhere I've been, I have chosen to live in South Africa. In particular I chose the Hartbeespoort area because of the magical environment, the sense of calm, and the spirituality of the area. We are truly blessed with delicious weather and surrounded by beauty, in particular the majestic Magaliesburg mountains in front of us, and the Magalies River running through our property. I love making people feel special, and to feel nurtured, to leave us happy and relaxed and most importantly - to come back!

Property information

We are a property that is unique and one of a kind, no run of the mill here. If you fancy a romantic environment, or even something a little alternative, perhaps even quirky, but still with a touch of class, then look no further. We are surrounded by a bush environment, so guests must love and appreciate nature in all its forms. We are a spiritual place, a calm place, yet not isolated. Come and relax, press pause and just be yourself. NOTE! All our suites are self contained except for 2 rooms. The 2 bedroom Bungalow and the Bungalow have their bathroom/toilet not ensuite. They are however private for your use only and are a few steps away from you bedroom.
