A magical off-grid retreat nestled in the Hogsback mountains.

  • An earthern gallery is currently being built on the land and will house exquisite pictures of the Hogsgack area. We are currently developing a programme that will invite guests to enjoy a range of experiences that will connect them deeper to themselves, people in their group and the earth.

  • The accommodation spaces are homely, rustic and built with a ton of love and creativity. The Eco Fox Den is made from local earthen materials and people love the embrace of this building material. The eco cabin is made from local timber and has the romantic feeling of the cabin in the mountains feel. Our campsites are designed for people to feel at home in nature. They are large, private sites with raised grass terraces, herb gardens, and bonfire pits set in a parkland of tall trees, bushes and grass. Many birds visit the campsites.

Helen

An environmental educator, researcher by profession, Helen has inspired and empowered people to become a beneficial presence for the earth.

  • I bought the land very cheap when I was 21. People thought I was crazy as the land was infested with alien vegetation, I had no money, no means to get here and no idea where I was going to be in 5-10 years. However, it ended up being one of the best decisions of my life. I am currently part of an inspired community based in Virginia whose vision it is to support people around the world to build communities that allow life to thrive. I have 3 wonderful staff, Cindi, Cimpiwe and Jackson who are local people who live maximum 10 kilometres away.

  • We inspire and empower people to become a beneficial presence for the earth. By living an off the grid lifestyle we show people how possible and wonderful it is to live this way. We inspire people in what is possible even if one doesn’t have much tangible resources to begin with. We inspire people through the beauty of nature around us. We are currently designing a programme that will invite guests on a journey of deeper self reflection and encouragement

  • Our mission reads – Earth Aligned Practices in place. Considering what will be most beneficial for the earth is, therefore, the framework we use to guide our decisions at Wild Fox Hill. This has guided the decision to be completely off grid, where we rely on the sun to power our home and accommodation and the rain for water. We build using local resources (stone, local timber, and earth) and recycled products such as glass bottles. We are a founder and leader on ARI (Amatola Regenerative Institute), which focuses on protecting the precious and diverse ecosystems in the area. We are establishing an Earth Wisdom School that supports children, scholars and people of faith to be inspired and empowered to be a beneficial presence for the earth.

  • There is a large trampoline for anyone to enjoy. There is a beautiful waterfall on the land and we have created a picnic spot o a grassy terrace above a stream. There are bonfire pits, an outside bath and shower area, and decks and verandas to enjoy the beautiful mountain views.
