Romantic Getaway

Get away from technology & immerse yourself in nature as a couple. Go hiking, birding, mountain
biking, trail running or simply read a book & relax. Share a bottle of wine over a plate of fresh
farm fare & fall asleep to the sound of the jackal crying in the valley below your cottage. Remember to let us know if you are celebrating a special occasion, so we can spoil you with a bottle of champagne on arrival & secluded, romantic dinner in the wine cellar or on the viewing deck.

From birding, picnics in the bush, to ziplining and chili tastings (yikes), there are a multitude of experiences to please the daredevils amongst us, as well as those looking for something a bit more ‘tame’ for the soulful part of adventure travel.
