And to top it off, we hosted an outdoor movie night under the stars.

Easter Weekend

The Resort was bouncing with egg-citement this Easter! The Reception received a festive makeover to welcome guests, complete with hopping Easter bunny decor. Plus, we all got together for a bring-and-braai that had everyone in high spirits! And let’s not forget how the Entertainment Team made sure that the weekend was jam-packed with fun activities for all to enjoy.
