A lowveld paradise

Johannesburg - Old Joe’s Kaia is a country haven for dreamers of a better world.

In a lowveld paradise, the guest house delights and nourishes guests with myriad activities in nature and vegan cuisine.

The restaurant – fast becoming famous – was renamed The Seedling last month.

The magic ingredient has stayed the same, and Marian heads the kitchen with renewed passion, flair and a plethora of plant ingredients.

The new menu is sure to sow seeds about ways of eating that have less impact on our planet, and to astound the manne with its wholesome and delicious alternatives to meat.

The wellness offering has been extended to include yoga, reflexology, massage and inspirational workshops and retreats.

The accommodation has high doses of quirk, love and comfort. Each uniquely appointed en suite room has a private outdoor area.

Twinspots, Narina Trogons and the Finfoot are a few of the characters to tick off your birdwatching list.

The seven-circuit labyrinth, the outdoor Olive Room, the swimming pool nestled in the garden, and forest- and cloud-gazing on the lawn feed the soul and rejuvenate as only nature can.

Build your own retreat here at Old Joe's Kaia! Join our favorite yoga teacher, Melissa, for yoga in the garden or host a full retreat! The pools are a refreshing way to cool down in the heat of the day. Birds and monkeys and bush babies sing to us all throughout the grounds. And to top it off, we can really go deep into healing with massage, reflexology and healing. We can't wait to be a part of your journey. ❤️ #oldjoeskaia
