Accommodation - Khaya iBhubesi in Parys

Khaya Ibubezi Parys

I was fortunate enough to join one of my clients at their team building and leadership course in Parys. The venue was Khaya Ibubezi.
What a lovely venue, I think they cater predominantly for teams and corporate functions.

The food was incredibly tasty, with a wide selection at each meal, and each dish delicious; unlike other places that make food en masse where everything starts tasting the same. 
There are a number of different room options. I stayed in “Pumba” – a lovely room right on the water. What a treat to get into bed and find a hot blanket! The décor is very stylish with a lot of carefully selected details.

A cherry on top of the experience of the venue was my morning jog – it was incredibly misty, but you could see the silhouette of the trees over the river. Running in the mist is wonderful, there is a peacefulness and calmness to it – it was quite a flat run, with very few cars or anyone on the road. I was transferred back to my childhood with the early morning smell of khaki-bos from the small holding we had when my Dad farmed with roses, and the smell of an early morning fire took me back to my Grandparent's farm in Northem, where we used to heat up a “donkey” (a contraption built outside where you make a fire to heat up water for the house). 
What a wonderfully serene way to start the day. 
The venue is great, I am actually tempted to host out next team building / strategy session there!
