Rivendell Retreat has been designed as a couples’ retreat, an escape from the everyday noise of the world today a chance for you to relax and enjoy your time and space together with privacy guaranteed. And no interruptions from technology.
Husband-and-wife team, Chris and Lindsey Willett, have lovingly restored and renovated this site over the last few years in a bid to provide not only a place of calm and peace for their family, but also for like-minded adults who yearn to be able to escape the constant noise of the world today.
Former Queen’s Guardsman Chris and his wife Lindsey were lucky enough to visit South Africa 24 years ago and have loved life here ever since, visiting regularly.
This project is the culmination of many decades of hard work and all those years dreaming of a real escape into the stunning South African wilderness.
“Being able to spend time in South Africa, with my family is a real blessing, being able to develop a retreat within this amazing country, and share this with like-minded people and friends is an absolute dream come true for us.” said Chris.
“Words and pictures can never do this environment justice it has to be experienced to be believed, we look forward to welcoming you soon.”
From our family to yours
Chris and Lindsey Willett
