DAY 1

Arrive at the eco-cabin accommodation and ease into the experience with an orientation evening and a welcome fire. It’s the ideal way to release the tension of travel and work, while settling into the rhythm of the retreat. A beautifully prepared dinner by the private chef invites you to relax and enjoy your first night in the mountains. With no Wi-Fi or cellphone signal, this is a true digital detox, offering space to disconnect and fully appreciate the calm, natural beauty of the surroundings.

DAY 2

Start with an energizing yoga session led by the in-house practitioner, followed by a refreshing cold water immersion in the natural eco-pool. After breakfast, enjoy a quiet period to decompress after travel, with time to read or book a massage. Later, after lunch, set out on a guided 10 km hike along the Palmiet River, taking in birds, flowers, and plant life along the way. The nearby Kogelberg Nature Reserve is home to more than 1,800 plant species, including 150 endemic varieties. In the evening, return for sunset dinner by the fire and a massage with the in-house masseuse.

DAY 3

Greet the day with yoga and another immune-boosting cold water immersion session. After a nourishing breakfast, enjoy a slow morning by the river, with time to read, nap, relax, or receive a massage. Following lunch, continue with a 6 km hike over the ridge before descending to the other side and heading to the mouth of the Palmiet River for a guided Stand Up Paddle Boarding experience. SUP sessions are suitable for all levels, from complete beginners to experienced paddlers. The day ends with dinner and another peaceful night in the Overberg.

DAY 4

Begin at sunrise with yoga and guided meditation, helping reset your circadian rhythm. A group cold water immersion session in the eco-pool follows, along with a final breakfast. The retreat concludes with a guided Wim Hof ice bath experience, offering an invigorating finish and a range of health benefits. Check-out is at 11 am, leaving you refreshed, revitalized, and ready to return home after a few active yet restful days in this beautiful mountain sanctuary.
