Located in Grabouw in the Overberg district of the Western Cape, the hotel was built to mimic the cosy wooden lodges which can be found in the Swiss Alps. However, instead of offering skiing as the main activity, it comes with a South African twist. The hotel offers biking, trail running and hiking.
As per an article by The South African, the hotel was awarded a five-star rating in the Backpackers and Hostels category. It also exists as the first of its kind on the continent.
