Annette
Whether you’re after a luxurious stay in the highveld, a beautiful picnic or an awe-inspiring hiking trail – We’ve got you covered. Our Vision To be the one-stop experience when travelling the greater Thaba Chweu area. Next to the Spekboom River along the Mount Anderson mountains, lies this excellent place to camp and recharge. With a braai area and a table that sits 6, self-catering is simple.
Back in 2018, we had an idea to create a wonderful and heartfelt bush experience. Look where we are today!
The mountains here are so rich and deep. One can’t help to wonder if they’re actually real. Deep in the valley lies our guesthouse with access to our mountain hiking trail and marvellous picnic area by the Spekboom River.
