Numerous companies have sorted out big problems in the quiet, private and beautiful surroundings on this farm. The fresh air opens your mind and brings new perspectives on the outside world. The word outside is used because, if you were brought here blindfolded you could think you were in the Tsitsikamma forest or even in the Transkei.

Teams seem to bond here, because everything is different to any other place.

Catering available by prior arrangement.
