Company information

We left the corporate world of Gauteng and relocated to a paradise that goes by the name of Sedgefield. Here we have found a passion to receive and host both weary travellers and holiday makers.

Property information

Haven on Hoopoe is situated in the beautiful 'slow town' of Sedgefield. It has a lovely garden setting with a magnificent Natal Mahogany as the focal point, a canopy like tree offering a large central shaded area. Tall green perimeter hedges afford the garden tranquility and privacy from neighbouring properties. Many beautiful birds such as sun birds, hoopoes and ibis's visit the garden. We have four units accommodating 2 people. Each unit boasts a private entrance with enclosed patios covered with translucent bronze sheeting. Paved patios include a bistro glass top table and 2 comfortable aluminium chairs, including built in braai with stainless steel braai grids.
