Following on from our sold-out event in March, we invite you to join us at The Greyton Trail & Yoga Weekend - Winter Edition.

It provides basic accommodation in twin and double rooms, dorm rooms, and offers camping. Bathrooms are shared. It’s the perfect place from which to explore the mountains and escape the rat race of the city.

The food:

It would hardly be a relaxing weekend if you had to worry about food! All meals and snacks are included. The menu, prepared by cookbook author Leozette Roode, will be full of healthy and nutritious, but decadent, options that will leave no-one feeling hungry! The focus will be on tasty, healthy, sustainable food options, and all food will be plant-based.
