Our Team

We are Mike and Kim Abraham, a nature-loving couple with a deep passion for the outdoors and a particular soft spot for birding adventures in the bush.
When we're not off chasing birdsong, we love retreating to this peaceful haven we've created—a place that brings us the same sense of calm and connection with nature.
It’s our joy to share this tranquil space with guests, offering a restful escape where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you.
We reside on the property and are available to ensure you have the most enjoyable stay.
And meet Dennis
The very good boy in the photo with us. He’s our loyal sidekick here at the retreat. Don’t be surprised by his three-legged strut - Dennis may be one leg down, but he’s full of love and tail wags. He’s as friendly as they come and always happy to make new friends.

We're proud to have a wonderful team that helps make your stay with us special. Our dear Miriam Moyo ensures that our cottages remain clean and comfortable for your stay.
We're grateful for her hard work and dedication.
