We also have a small Bush Spa, where our team can offer relaxing massage and rejuvenating body treatments using organic essential oils made in our region. Why not check in to the spa while the children are in Bush School and reset your mind and body on safari. We also have a small tented Bush Gym with 2 exercise bikes, full kettle bell and weights sets and yoga mats and blocks for self practice. Our new Running Track of 800 m is located inside our fence line and offers active guests the chance to test their fitness at our altitude.
Should guests wish to invite a licensed Pilates or Yoga Instructor from the local area – this is possible but we need some advance warning to make it happen.
Our pool is chemical free, copper based and fresh water so perfect for cold plunging in the early mornings before the sun comes out if that is your thing!
