Khula Dharma Natural Farming Community
Khula Dharma is a natural farming community situated 10km from the coastal hamlet of Haga-Haga in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. The farm is in a sub-tropical climate zone that allows for year-round cultivation.
Our retreat space includes traditional thatched accommodation huts, a beautiful functions hall, and communal facilities that support holistic healing and learning events.
Not a hotel. A living community.
Khula Dharma is a self-catering, self-serving sustainable stay. Guests are welcomed into a real off-grid environment with shared responsibility, natural rhythms, wildlife awareness, and practical daily care.
Life on The Hill
Earth-built rooms, a yoga hall, lapa, Pixie Palace, river and dam access, hiking trails, food forest, wildlife, and a daily rhythm shaped by practical sustainable living.
The Hill is our social hub of learning and co-living, where guests, long-term residents, volunteers, and facilitators share space, skills, and community.

Built from the Land
Many spaces at Khula Dharma are built from earth and natural materials, using techniques that create breathable, grounded buildings connected to place. The land itself is part of the teaching.
