Cape Town based trail-yogi Fran Siebrits brings you a specialised retreat, combining yoga, hiking or trail running, and delicious vegetarian food. Positioned under the picturesque Magaliesberg mountain range, you will be expertly facilitated during a healthy, fun and light weekend in nature.The majestic and tranquil oasis of Rustig Farm is your home for the weekend, only 45 minutes drive from Pretoria and Johannesburg. This Yoga & Trail Retreat promises to leave you refreshed, relaxed and revitalised.

Situated at the foot of the Magaliesberg mountain range, the beautifully restored farmhouse accommodation spills out onto a spacious veranda with lush green garden views. The large rooms offer a stylish interior, merging classic tradition with modern sophistication. Other accommodation options include upmarket tented cottages, en-suit and including a small kitchen. You will have access to the large outdoor pool, indoor jacuzzis and the formal bar for that perfect end-of-day sundowner.

Enjoy some time in the beautiful surrounding gardens with the sounds of nature; and while out on trail keep an eye open for some of the impressive wildlife, flora and fauna which are found in these parts of the Magaliesburg we will be accessing.

Join us on a well-deserved break from the business of life and treat yourself to some time in nature to connect to yourself and the beauty of the natural world around you.
