Tracey – Counseling Psychologist
Witnessing other therapists’ challenges and ideas, witnessing the fine art of facilitation. personally – I am alone in my practice with mostly individuals and I gained confidence from being in a group of diverse people – in fact – the personal and the professional were very blended for me
Arts Therapist
It’s rare (and wonderful) to have the opportunity to just be a participant, and the number and variety of experiences meant that I felt like I got a lot of experience in a short space of time.
Craniosacral Therapist
I had the opportunity to work through a wide range of experiential practices, to witness great facilitation of processes and to have some professional questions addressed
Arts Therapist
I was not sure what to expect, as this was my first exposure to this kind of training. The experience was the best training I had since starting my career. After all the years of doing therapy, I needed to reconnect with my body and with the medicine I need for healing so that I can show up in a different way for my clients.

Magical location! Great for families. A must if you’re looking to get away from it all!!!
Kristin
Amazing experience if you are looking for something different + a real family feel from the hosts + stars for Africa.

What an amazing place! I thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Rest. I cannot wait to go back. If you want peace, quiet and solitude, this is the place for you. Walking in the mountains with not a soul in sight. It was pure adventure.
Melvin
The Rest is a unique and incredible place. There is such a sense of freedom and safety and Paula was a phenomenal host. A wonderful place to get away from normal life and explore the true beauty of the Karoo. Highlights for us included climbing the mountain for sunrise after a snowfall and enjoying hearty meals made with grass fed beef grown right there on the farm. Don’t miss out on that, or a loaf of home made bread!
Jessica
Fantastic. The Shepherd’s Cottage might be rustic but was well appointed and suited to my purposes, which was a quiet time to do some studies while exploring. There is no cell phone reception but there is a good working WiFi to stay in contact. There is good MTB riding experience or just go for a walk but remember no WiFi away from the cottage. I recommend at least a few days stay to properly appreciate the time there.
Patrick
Awesome view and ambience. Clean and all you need for a break from the city hassel and bussel.
