Natural Areas and Things To Do

The Quko River runs through the farm and the dam lies a few hundred metres past Gaia Khaya. Both spaces are great for relaxation, meditation, swimming, and birdwatching.

You may spot Mangrove and Pygmy Kingfishers, African Fish Eagles, and Cape Clawless Otters.

The Hill and wider farm include marked walking and hiking trails. Please ask consent before entering private long-term homesteads.

Waste Management

Reduce single-use packaging and prefer cardboard, paper, and glass.
Repair before replacing where possible.
Reuse items such as jars, buckets, and cardboard.
Recycle where feasible, while prioritizing reduction and reuse first.
Rot: compost plant-based food scraps in the systems provided.

If you have landfill waste, tie bags securely. There is a landfill site between Khula Dharma and Haga Haga. If you can't drop off waste while in town, please speak to management.

Pets On The Hill

Dogs are welcome. Please do not bring cats. Dogs must be supervised, well-socialized, and cleaned up after. Use a leash if needed.

Wildlife such as Vervet Monkeys, Boomslang, and Puff Adders may be present, so supervision is essential.

Closest vet: Mooiplaas Centre (about 19.6km away).

Wildlife, Ticks and Mosquitoes

We share the farm with diverse wildlife. Please do not harm animals, insects, or reptiles unless your safety is at risk. Ask staff to assist with gentle removal when needed.

Please do not feed monkeys, and keep food, rubbish, doors, and windows secure.

The Eastern Cape is malaria-free, but ticks can carry tick bite fever. Bring repellent, wear long pants in long grass, and do regular tick checks.
