This property is a typical Little Karoo town home with reeded ceilings, thick walls and some wooden floors. The interior is decorated in a casual way with typical cape oak antique furniture and modern art. It has a large garden with mainly karoo indigenous plants and large rocks and boulders. A meditational type walk has been designed in the garden with a simple labyrinth.
I am a energy healing therapist using the tools of Colour Healing Energy and Reiki. My passion is sharing what I know about colour and how it relates to one's own path of healing.
This is a quiet Karoo town surrounded by mountains. The town is at the beginning of the Meiringspoort pass - the gateway between the Little and Great Karoo. It is a central place to explore our area from. There are tourist attractions in the surrounding towns of Prince Albert, Oudtshoorn and George.
