We experience sunny days most of the year. The evenings are clear and crisp, which makes them suitable for star-gazing, and sitting around the fire under the gentle light of the moon.
The summers can be hot, with daytime temperatures of up to 35˚C. The winters are cold, with temperatures plummeting after sunset, and the occasional early mornings reaching a chilly sub-zero ˚C.
Each chalet has a minimum rate for a certain number of people.
Any additional children after that are given a discounted rate. Children under 2 years stay for free.
Because we are a game farm and have both free-roaming wildlife and domestic farm animals, we cannot run the risk of unfamiliar pets interacting with our animals. We have multitude species of animals that are not socialised. Therefore, pets are unfortunately not allowed on Eingedi Retreat.
Eingedi’s clean and pure water is sourced from a borehole on the property, and it is not necessary to bring your own drinking water.
We would advise our guests to arrive with all their shopping requirements.
