Our story
We are a Belgian & American couple who met on a rock climbing trip to Waterval Boven from where we were living in Mozambique back in 2010. Our lives have brought us many places since then, and we found ourselves back in South Africa in 2014, and close (again) to our beloved Boven! On a crazy whim we purchased Tegwaan Country Getaway in 2017. We have a wonderful community of friends who have supported us in our Tegwaan adventure, including giving their time, energy and support - thanks to all of you! Our goal with Tegwaan is to build a haven for conscious living away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Come back to nature with us and take a walk through our small, but growing, permaculture garden, say hello to our friendly chickens, swim in the spring fed swimming pool and just relax!
