The Mountain is a space which attracts creatives, adventurers, conservationists, dreamers and doers. We are grateful to have the opportunity to be a voice for this unique community through the Mountain Getaways Visitors’ Guide, quarterly Magazine and this Website which serves to remind us once again how privileged we are to be able to spend time in Magoebaskloof where there are mountains instead of malls, spectacular views rather than parkades and silence to replace the sounds of the city.
