Something we hold dear.....

This farm lay fallow for many years, until Roy and his Dad bought it and began clearing all the thick bush. Very soon after that we started planting Pine and Eucalyptus trees. This was 15 years ago! It is a very rewarding and exciting journey nurturing the trees, planting more, and watching them grow. On our walks we spot countless Bush Buck, Duikers, eagles, guineafowl, francolins and goshawks, and there is a strong presence of warthog everywhere! Inside the forests one can hear the echo of the fork-tailed Drongo and the warm sound of doves, while Ladybirds flit around, often seen on the wedding ceremony benches! Many of the sections of forest are carpeted with a rich brown covering of pine-needles. When the mushrooms pop up at certain times of the year one sees tiny mounds of needles everywhere. We have large areas under new plantings, and it is a true joy to walk in spaces where there is so much life!

In 2016 our daughter and her future husband had a vision and a desire to get married in the forest. And so it was with much excitement and anticipation that we began the preparations. The ceremony, at the end of that year, was truly beautiful. Since then, we have hosted countless ceremonies and photoshoots for brides, expectant mothers, family, fashion and engagements.

We feel honoured and privileged to be stewards of this green space and forest sanctuary! We endeavour to respect and nurture them for a long time to come. And our greatest joy is when we are able to share this beauty with other people, especially those who feel the same way as we do!
