The 860 acre estate rural setting, plus the added benefit of having eight large private lakes, means we can offer a wide range of activities such as hiking, forest walks, fit trails, running, biking, zip-lining, archery, sailing, stand-up paddle-boarding, kayaking and canoeing, yoga in a lakeside bird-hide, plus daily use of the sauna, steam room and pool. There will be optional foraging and cooking in the fields. After a day of yoga, hiking, paddling and personal training, with a culinary class or coaching session, clients can wind down in their private residence with a treatment, or simply take a long walk in the lush surroundings for some contemplative reflection.
