One bank levels out to give a flat grassed area on which to pitch your tent or to park your caravan or rooftop tent vehicle. Beyond the level area, the land rises again to form a cragged mountain covered in proteas and pristine fynbos. Every day, another plant comes into flower.

Here mornings begin with birdsong and unfold between walks, swims, cooking, reading, talking with loved ones and long soaks with views. Evenings end under a ceiling of stars, wrapped in stillness other than for the riversong.

Good internet allows for creative work in a nature getaway. This is nature without excess. Warm, friendly and deeply restorative.
