Ubuntu Garden Route Retreat is in
Rondevlei (approximately 25 km from George) near Wilderness on the Garden
Route just off the N2 on the seaside of the highway in close proximity to
several beaches and central to numerous activities.
The self-catering lodges are situated on a protea farm in a pine forest,
which is undergoing total indigenous restoration to the flora and some
species of fauna. There is a restaurant for bed and breakfast accommodation
and for conferencing.
