Weekend in Stilbaai

We went on a weekend away to the Wild Olive Farm outside of Stilbaai. Not quite Cape Town but well worth a visit. 

We arrived Friday in the dark and I was greeted on Saturday morning with a spectacular sunrise. 
Wild Olive Farm grows olives and organic veggies.
To see the perma culture gardening in action was amazing.
Chicken living as they are supposed to live, a lively and happy bunch.
Our home from home was the Apple Tree cottage. 
We enjoyed the old world "Gemütlichkeit" and the fireplace.
Two noosey fellows joined us for breakfast on the veranda.
We felt surrounded by love.
From the farm it is a mere 11km to the village and the sea.

We spent late afternoon at the river in absolute stillness.
The sun was setting over the valley..
In the twilight...
we caught "Haas" grazing.
Before leaving on Sunday I went on a short walk hunting for pictures.
Even just along the path there was so much to see.



Thanks to John and his very friendly staff for the hospitality. We had a relaxing and refreshing weekend.
