Such a gorgeous and serene spot! Truly a space for wellbeing. The lake is sublime. The immersion in nature is soul foodPosted on Red Rock River CampTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hosted a school camp at the WB Sanctuary, massive success, stunning location, great hosts and unbelievable scenery!Posted on Dion ViljoenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. By far the best festival venue in South Africa, featuring access to a beautiful lake, indigenous forest and rolling green meadows where children (and adults!) can frolic. Not to mention the epic organic veggie garden and food forest, copious quantities of fresh drinking water, shaded camping and glamping, hot showers, excellent compost toilets and fire pits where you can linger long into the night. Now also sought after as a retreat venue.Posted on Hendrik BurgerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A magical land that connects you to your heart, people and the music of life. The gatherings and deep connection with nature are reasons I will keep returning. The festivals, sunset views, ceremonies and sacred fires held here are one of a kind amazing. Thanks to Mariët and Vincent for taking care of this beautiful space!!Posted on Nicola Jackman (NikkiJackmanjoy)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extraordinary space to host retreats and realign with nature! What a sacred and beautiful piece of land - with forest, salt water lake and views that restore the sacred in us all!
Nature's playground on the Garden Route
The Well-Being Sanctuary lives up to its name with majestic mountain, forest, and lake views. It is a secluded and peaceful getaway located at the heart of the beautiful Garden Route in South Africa, providing the perfect environment to disconnect from the hustle and bustle.
It’s a true sanctuary for individuals, families, and friends to rest, reset and recharge. Ground and reconnect to your true nature and roots, while exploring this safe space. When you feel lost in all the distractions of your daily life, come home to what feels good within you.
Be woken up by the sounds of silence and perhaps the calling of the fish eagles patrolling the lake. There is nothing better than reconnecting with yourself through nature, self-care, and personal growth.
