We invite you to celebrate the Celtic fire festival, Samhain, which translated means summer’s end. Join us for the last few days of the harvest, the end of the cycle of birth and growth, which from a nature perspective was the Celtic New Year. It was believed that the veil between the living and the otherworld, the seen and the unseen, was at its thinnest at this time, a time where spirits were able to visit the living making it the perfect opportunity to remember our ancestors. Our festival runs from the evening of Friday 28th till the morning of Sunday 30th April and includes traditional festival activities including taking a walk-in nature, gathering forest bounty, honouring our ancestors, feasting from the harvest produce, fortune telling, making plans for the new and a few fun traditions to light the path home for our ancestors to visit and appease any other spirits and fairies roaming around.
Our intimate retreat is limited to eight guests and is priced at m $799 per person (based on 2 people sharing a double room with a shared bathroom) and includes:
*All meals, teas, filtered coffee and soft drinks including spiced mulled apple and pomegranate juice (plus 2 alcoholic drinks on Friday and Saturday night).
