Finding Your HIDDN

It’s a peace like no other. HIDDN feels almost surreal… a renewing serenity.

Situated in the Eastern Cape, this is a hiddn gem. As a born and bred Eastern Cape girl, I had no idea that this setting existed. Discovering HIDDN is pure joy.

The views are picture perfect, almost indescribable… and truly breathtaking in every direction. Uninterrupted mountain tops stretch as far as the eye can see. It’s such a surprise for this part of the world. The fynbos that is so well known as part of the Cape Floral Kingdom in the Western Cape does, in fact, extend to this part of the world! (It’s not all flat land with thorny bushveld and karoo succulents.)

Finding your hiddn here can be literal. Hiking is a popular activity with trails going down into the valley where you might stumble across a shy bushbuck, a cheeky warthog or a majestic kudu in thick bushveld. Walking through the peaceful yellow wood forest is enchanting. Spotting a kingfisher near the pristine rock pool is a treat. It’s a birder’s paradise.

Back up top, from the comfort of your private hot tub, watching the warm hues of an African sunset or spotting a soaring bird of prey is daily entertainment.

With wellness woven into every aspect of this experience it’s easy to find your hiddn figuratively too. From the welcome foot cleansing ritual which seeks to soak out meaning from the words you select in your foot bath… to the unpolluted sky star gazing through the telescope… to deeply relaxing sound treatments performed by two intuitive therapists, your mind can wonder to a magical place of stillness and reconnection.

This mountain retreat (built with thought provoking design elements) is for the nature lover, the harmony seeker and the wellness warrior. It’s a time to step away from the ‘world out there’; a time to reset.

Not to mention the nourishing deliciousness that emanates from the kitchen!

HIDDN is literally on top of the world, figurately deep in your soul and honestly a slice of heaven on this beautiful earth. It is a reason for being.
