My 3 weeks at the lodge went by extremely fast! The family is lovely and so welcoming. I came in with no particular skills and they were extremely patient with me and it allowed me to learn a lot. It was great to experience what life is like in the Karoo.

Under the stars, warmed by the glow of the bonfire, the house hums with an energy so infectious it makes you smile and never want to leave. The tasks are fun and creative, and they make sure the work suits your gifts and what you enjoy doing. There's so much kindness, openness, and laughter that you instantly feel at home. It's not just an experience—it's family. I've truly enjoyed my time here and feel grateful for every moment.

Staying at the lodge was such an incredible experience. The family is SO kind and welcoming, as is Ernest, who works at the house during the days and was always happy to share stories of his Zulu culture. Max, Jack, and Rox, the teens at the house, all were so fantastic at helping me whenever I needed assistance and welcoming me into everything, and Justin and Freyni were so kind and flexible with hours. I was able to work according to my own schedule building up the social media sites! The accommodation was great, too. Highly recommend. P.S. Their dogs, especially Badger, are the sweetest EVER!

I had a really lovely time at the lodge, it was absolutely perfect for me as a change of pace from hectic backpacking. The accommodation, food etc. was all very comfortable and generous. I really enjoyed the tasks that I was set which included tinkering with the tractor, building fences, gardening, Helping to repair the road and other general jobs. We also went on several trips to the local towns & Justin slowed me to accompany him on a research trip, which was v cool. It was very nice to be in a family environment, exchanging stories and jokes over yummy meals and walks. Would highly recommend!
