Company info

Henri & Lisa live full time on the farm and have endeavored to restore this gem of a property back to its original vegetation. After a devastating fire in December 2016 we discovers some old canals that burned clean and we now maintain them and enjoy scenic walks in the 2 canals. We have bought in some game and are passionate about conservation and clearing alien vegetation. We would love to show you some of the special places on the farm where you can enjoy a beautiful sunset or swim in one of the natural rock pools. We invite you to come and “Breathe”, and share in the beauty of the area. With so much to see and do, you will be back to experience more of the natural beauty of Breathe Lodge.
