Best Weekend Escape in the Best of PMB& Midlands Awards 2025

We are incredibly proud to share that we’ve been voted Best Weekend Escape in the 2025 Best of PMB & Midlands Readers’Choice Awards. With more than 225,000 votes cast in this inaugural edition, this recognition means the world to us. It tells us that guests and our community see and feel what we set out to create every day: a place where time slows, where luxury and nature meet effortlessly, and where people can truly breathe again.

A Sanctuary Close to the Heart

Our home in the rolling hills of theKwaZulu-Natal Midlands has always been more than just a beautiful setting –it’s the soul of the experience. From elegant rooms to private villas tucked among indigenous bush and wide-open skies, each space is designed to immerse our guests in stillness, beauty, and a sense of belonging. This land inspires us. The forests, the gardens, the weather shifting across the valley – they remind us daily why we do what we do: to create moments of connection, restoration, and wonder.

Crafted with Care

We’ve always believed that true luxury should feel effortless. That’s why every pathway, design choice, and experience here is shaped to feel harmonious with the landscape around us. Guests don’t just arrive – they settle in, exhale, and begin to reconnect with themselves and the people they’re with. It’s not just a stay. It’s something lived.

A Win Shared with the Community

This award is incredibly meaningful because it comes from you – our guests, neighbours, friends, and supporters. Your votes tell us that the Midlands values not just a destination, but hospitality that is grounded in authenticity, warmth, excellence and genuine care.
Thank you for believing in our vision and for helping us bring it to life, day after day.
