The place

Ange still programmes the days

The Overberg

Greyton, with mountain walks, streams and fynbos from the door.

Plant-based meals on retreat. Room-only nights can book breakfast and supper a day ahead.

Our read

High Hopes is worth the journey because Ange still writes the programme in a four-room house, not because Greyton has inns with a massage list.

Come here for

  • Travellers who will go to Greyton for a personalised dest-spa, not a weekend inn
  • People who will fill the questionnaire and sit with Ange on arrival
  • Guests who can walk the village for lunch if they book a room-only night

Skip it if

  • You want a large spa hall or a shared hydro. The house is four garden rooms and a small team.
  • You need alcohol at dinner. The accommodation page prints that alcohol is not served.

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.
