Fantastic a great venue to go and relax and reset your body clock and mind. Quiet and tranquil. The hot tub at Huna House is an added bonus. Will definitely visit again.

Peaceful retreat
Blissfully peaceful getaway from Joburg amid a pecan forest and adjacent the Magalies river. Terry is a thoughtful hostess. Lovely ambience in each of the houses (catering from 2-16 people) with fully catered yoga retreat or self catering options available.
