We’re Sarah and Gary, and we absolutely love living in our peaceful semi-rural haven. Surrounded by indigenous trees, our garden is a vibrant sanctuary visited daily by a wonderful variety of birds — from majestic Eagle Owls to playful guinea fowl, Egyptian geese, ducks, peacocks, and colorful weavers. We’re outdoor enthusiasts and proud owners of a Land Rover Discovery, enjoying monthly adventures with our 4x4 club exploring the beautiful Winelands. Gary often works from home or travels locally to show and sell farms — a dream job that gets him out into nature every day. Our home is our comfort zone, and we hope that when you stay at Tuckaway, you’ll feel that same sense of peace and belonging.

For adventure seekers, the nearby Blue Rock water-skiing facility, set in a stunning former quarry, provides thrilling automated ski-pole rides and endless fun on the water.
