Exactly a year later – I had the privilege of staying at the most magical place in the world, once again, Akasha Mountain Retreat. (Read my previous reviews here with loads more pics!)
A year later, it feels as new and as magical! A place to switch off, unwind and recharge! A self catering retreat with 3 bedrooms & 1 outside room with kitchenette.
A new addition since we were last there, the trampoline.
Work up an appetite with a steep walk down to the river & back or just chill out by the fire!

The perfect getaway to relax & reconnect, or have a rip roaring party on that magnificent Moroccan terrace under the stars! 🙂 (For more information visit Akasha Mountain Retreat on Facebook Here or e-mail xx
There is a weber should you want to have a braai – and a gas stove and oven for cooking. 
The house was originally the dam watchers house, and they’ve left some of the original wall exposed which adds to the charm. All the doors and a lot of the windows, decor etc are from Morocco. 
Chris and Elana will offer to take you on the river. They are getting a canoe too! Also, ask Chris to tell you about the Mermaid! I told you this place is magical 🙂 
Ah now if you want to really feel like you’re in Morocco, this courtyard will transport you there! It’s as though you are overlooking the Atlas Mountains. The other bonus, is that Cape Town was experiencing a cold front or two while we were there over the weekend, and we sat in hot sunshine. We had some strong wind and a little rain in the night, but this gem of an area in the Langeberg mountains (between Heidelberg & Barrydale) often misses the cold fronts. 
The accommodation is self catering – But Chris & Elana were so kind to offer to get us anything we may have needed/forgotten when they went into town.
