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.

Tin Town - A Glamping dream taking shape in Haenertsburg
If you wander through Haenertsburg on a quiet morning, the village seems to move at its own slow pace. The main street feels almost unchanged, yet beneath that calm rhythm ideas are always stirring. Over the past few months, a project has been unfolding just above the village centre, something Charmaine and Morné Botha have been creating alongside the Blue Shutter Guesthouse . They bought the house on Plein Street a year ago and transformed it into a small, stylish guesthous
