Bloem - April 24

An indulgent weekend
in the KZN Midlands
Meals created by a celeb chef. Sunrise yoga. Glorious gardens and fine wines
and spa treatments. This isn’t your everyday weekend escape.
Dinners created by celeb
chef Pete Goffe-Wood
Imagine. Luxurious accommodation. Exceptional meals by a
celeb chef. Fine, fine wine tastings. Throw in award-winning,
breathtakingly beautiful gardens. Spa treatments. A helicopter
flip. This, obviously, is not your common-or-garden-variety
weekend away.
Brahman Hills in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, is always a treat.
But this promises to be something completely OTT indulgent.
The Brahman Hills Experience is an exclusive weekend boasting
an enchanting blend of experiences for guests seeking an
extraordinary fusion of comfort, culinary excellence, artistic
beauty, and thrilling adventures.
Guests will indulge in exceptional dinners prepared by
celebrity chef Pete Goffe-Wood, who says “This is going to be
a magnificent culinary weekend! I’ll be putting together two
fabulous dinners using the incredible produce straight from
the property – all organic and sustainable, of course. I’m really
passionate about celebrating ingredients, and I can’t wait to
share that passion with Brahman Hills guests.”
Along with dinners, there’ll be wine tastings from some of South
Africa’s finest wine estates ... think Mullineux, L’Ormarins, Haute
Cabriere and Bruce Jack Wines.
You’ll also have the chance to explore the 26 distinct garden
rooms on the property, as well as the unique art and sculptures
in the guided garden and art walks by designer landscaper, Tim
Steyn and art curator Tyron Selmon-Butler.
For relaxation, there will be a Saturday sunrise yoga session, and
an indulgent 90-minute spa treatment at the Healing Earth Spa.
And for thrills ... a 15-minute heli ride over the five-and-a-half
hectare, award-winning gardens.
Rumour has it there’ll be a few national rugby icons on the
weekend escape, so you’ll get to rub (very broad) shoulders with
the sports stars.
The Brahman Hills Experience has three packages – Platinum,
Gold, and Silver – each tailored to cater to different preferences
and budgets, all of which will include the accommodation,
meals, non-alcoholic drinks, guided walks and yoga. Add ons (the
heli flip and spa treatments) are available for the less expensive
packages.
The experience is from Friday to Sunday May 10 to 12, rates are
from R8400 to R11500 a person, sharing, and bookings can be
made on brahmanhills.co.za/events/the-brahman-hills-experience
