Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Beyond the work, we value the social aspect of our community. We offer various social activities where Workawayers can connect with our family, team, and the local community. This is a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in local culture, make new friends, and enjoy the warmth of our community.
At the farm, we believe in the power of knowledge exchange. We are eager to share our expertise in event planning, farm management, and South African culture. In return, we are excited to learn from your experiences and perspectives, gain insights into different cultures and potentially discover new ways to enhance our services.
Help
Our beautiful venue is equipped with a bar and a kitchen. We are currently seeking help with the styling of events, including table scaping, flower arrangements, and decor styling. If you have a passion for event design and a keen eye for detail, we'd love to hear from you. Don't worry, you don't need experience we will teach you everything we know! We also run a full-time cattle farm where general maintenance can come in handy. In the spring of this year we are also planning on planting some flowers that we can use at our wedding venue.

I learnt a lot from Anja and gained some well needed experience in the kitchen. During the week I helped out with the preparation and placement for some steel beams… read more
