Eingedi Retreat
Hidden away, not so far from the center of SA, is a family-friendly game farm, with a treasure trove of soft adventure activities for young and old, to choose from and enjoy. Eingedi Retreat is a 2-star self-catering exclusive establishment, situated on a 530Ha game farm, in the E. Freestate between Ladybrand and Hobhouse. The beautiful views of the Maluti Mountains, together with the wildlife, numerous birds, natural forest, plains, mountains and valleys, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, all work together to create a space of tangible peace, tranquility and quietness to refresh and restore the body, soul and spirit. We definitely love families and children. We have gone the extra mile to create a place where different generations can get together and enjoy building relationships, by spending time together playing, resting, and sharing experiences. Eingedi endeavours to provide a family-friendly environment based on biblical principles. We offer numerous activities and experiences for guests of all ages to enjoy: From………..relaxing around the pool or braai fire, and going for a gentle stroll; or a self-guided game drive, taking along a flask of coffee for a picnic on the plains while bird-watching; …………to…… booking for our top experience - a 4x4 guided game drive on Caleb our Unimog; conquering the exciting and breath-taking routes available for the avid cyclist; or hiking up and down ladders and across game-filled plains; or enjoying an adventurous 4x4 trail down Skeleton Ridge! We also offer a 5-star buffet breakfast to enjoy – a Swiss tourist complimented us on this being the best breakfast in SA. You are sure to keep your days filled with many memory-making undertakings, in-between just doing nothing and soaking in the peace and tranquility of our valley. Eingedi is a haven for children. We have 2 swimming pools, a playground with swings, a roundabout, large trampoline and exciting new jungle gym; our Jolly Farmyard; domestic animals to be fed and milked; dams for fishing; walks and hikes. Accommodation is offered in a variety of log cabins, chalets and cottages, all of which are well equipped for self-catering and have their own private bathrooms.
