DAY 1
Upon arriving at our stunning eco-cabin accommodation for your holistic adventure retreat, you'll be greeted with an orientation evening and a welcome fire. This sets the perfect tone for your stay, helping you melt away the stresses of work and travel. Enjoy a beautifully crafted dinner curated by our private chef, allowing you to unwind and fully embrace your new surroundings.
Nestled in the Overberg, these mountains offer no Wi-Fi or cellphone signal, providing the perfect opportunity for a complete digital detox. Take full advantage of the health benefits of unplugging and immerse yourself in the serenity and natural beauty of this mountain paradise.
DAY 2
Begin your day with an invigorating yoga session led by our in-house practitioner, followed by a refreshing cold water immersion in the natural eco-pool. Enjoy a healthy breakfast before a quiet post-travel decompression period, perfect for reading or indulging in a massage.
As the day progresses with a gentle guided 8 km (3-hour) stroll along the stunning river, where you'll spot diverse bird species, flowers, and plants. The Nature Reserve is home to over 1,800 plant species, with 150 endemic to the area. We return to our accommodations for lunch befre a short journey to the mouth of the Palmiet River for a guided Stand Up Paddle Boarding (SUP) experience. Our SUP sessions cater to all levels, accommodating both first-time and experienced paddlers. The day concludes with a delightful dinner, providing the perfect end to a day immersed in the serene beauty of the Overberg's natural landscape.
DAY 3
We rise with the sun for our daily yoga practice, followed by an immune-boosting cold water immersion session. Afterward, enjoy a nutritious breakfast before a slow morning of reading books, getting a massage, taking a snooze, or relaxing on the banks of the river or by the pool. Following lunch we make our way down to the beach to discover a hidden penguin colony of African Jackass penguins for this truly unique local experience. After the beach we embark on a 6 km (3-4 hour) hike over the Mountain back towards our accommodations for our final adventure activity of the retreat. This stunning trail with impeccable views of forest, coastline and mountains will take your breath away.

We start our day with a sunrise yoga session and guided meditation, helping you recalibrate your circadian clock. After which we transition into a guided Wim Hof ice bath experience.
