Philosophy

Our spaces are private, secluded and surrounded by unspoiled Cederberg wilderness. We’ve kept them as simple as possible while still catering for all your basic needs.

History

The accommodation we offer is what we would always seek out to stay at ourselves – so when we took the decision to open our own tourism offering, it made sense to create our personal ideal getaway and share that vision with others.

Mission & Vision

The Storytellers offers two secluded and private glamping accommodation units that we’ve built as close to nature as possible. The units, Dassie Den and Tortoise Terrace, are partially off-grid and have no WiFi access, helping you unplug from the fast pace of daily life.

We’ve stripped down to the basics to provide our guests with just the essentials, showing how little we actually need in life to cater for our basic needs.

This step back from the complicated choreography of technology and social connection – in combination with being immersed in nature – helps our guests disconnect from modern life and reconnect with their true inner-self.

We practice mindful sustainability in all aspects of the guest units, using renewable energy sources where possible. Our focus is also keeping chemicals out of the wilderness surrounding the guest units by providing chemical-free, home-made, organic dishwashing liquid and bath soap. The Storytellers is also a member of the Rocklands Recycling Initiative and as such strives to keep as much organic and non-organic waste as possible from ending up in the landfill.

As individuals and as a business, we are committed to supporting local social benefit projects and are active members of the Rocklands Association for Development; only hire from our local community; and ensure that all wages paid are based on a “value of service” basis as opposed to minimum wage.
