What we love

We love the idea of having the whole Farmhouse Villa to yourselves, with 6 en-suite bedrooms, plenty of space to relax and a beautiful rim-flow pool. There’s so much to do across the 2,500-hectare wilderness, from hiking and game drives to mountain biking. We’d opt for the included meals option with a private chef, 3-course dinner and 2-course brunch to enjoy the full experience with family and friends. The voucher is for 10 guests, contact [email protected] if you'd like to add 2 more.
