If you love a good sunset, you really should experience ours at Umshanti.

There’s something special about watching the light change over the dam, the mountains soften in the distance and the whole landscape take on that golden end-of-day glow.

Bring a drink, find your favourite spot and stay for the show. Some evenings really do deserve your full attention.

School holidays are just around the corner, and if you’ve been dreaming of a few days away with the family, this is your reminder to get it booked.

At Umshanti, there’s space to slow down, spread out and enjoy proper time together. Think dam views, canoeing, barge cruises, fresh air, long afternoons outside and plenty of room for the kids to simply be kids.

Book your family holiday with us for the end-of-September break and make the most of spring at Umshanti.

Misty mornings at Umshanti are pretty special.

The landscape transforms as the mist rolls in, creating the most beautiful views and giving you every excuse to grab your camera and head out for a long walk.

Fresh air, open spaces, mountain views and a little exercise before the day gets going — it’s a pretty good way to start the morning.

And if you happen to come back with a few beautiful photographs, even better.

Sometimes the best way to experience Umshanti is from the water.

Hire a canoe and head out onto the Buffeljags Dam, with the mountains, open skies and beautiful landscape all around you. Paddle at your own pace, explore the shoreline and take in a completely different view of the place.

It’s a lovely way to spend a slow afternoon — and a little adventure never hurts.

Need some time away to slow down, clear your head and reflect?

We know just the place.

Surrounded by open skies, farms, fresh air and the beautiful Buffeljags Dam, Umshanti gives you the space to step away from the everyday and simply breathe.

Sometimes a little time away is exactly what you need to come back feeling like yourself again.

Book your stay with us and give yourself some time to pause.

At Umshanti, we believe children should have space to simply be children.

To run barefoot, explore the outdoors, get a little muddy, chase birds, climb, play and spend hours discovering the world around them.

With open spaces, fresh air and nature all around, there’s plenty of room for little legs to run free and imaginations to wander.

Because some of the best childhood memories are made outside.

There’s something about arriving at Umshanti that makes the outside world feel very far away.

Surrounded by working farms, wide open skies and fresh country air, it’s a place where you can slow down, breathe deeply and forget about everything waiting on the other side of the gate.

No busy schedules. No rushing from one thing to the next. Just space, nature, good company and time to enjoy it.

Sometimes, you really do need to leave the world behind for a little while.

There’s a definite feeling of spring in the air at Umshanti.

The days are getting warmer, the landscape is waking up and everything feels like a very good excuse to start planning your next getaway.

Gather the family, call your friends, pack your bags and come spend a few days beside the Buffeljags Dam. We’ll take care of the beautiful setting — you just need to bring the good company.

Your next holiday might be closer than you think.

Don’t know what all the fuss is about when it comes to our sunsets?

Come see for yourself.

There’s nothing quite like watching the sun drop behind the mountains, the sky changing by the minute and the last light stretching across the Buffeljags Dam.

We could try to describe it, but honestly, it’s much better in person.

There’s something rather special about waking up with the Buffeljags Dam right on your doorstep.

Our 10-sleeper houses at Umshanti are made for getting together — family weekends, friends’ escapes, long lunches and evenings spent outside as the day winds down.

With plenty of space to spread out and the water just a few steps away, it’s an easy place to switch off, reconnect and enjoy time together.

Come for the views, stay for the good company.
