Beatrice has always had a dream and it's beginning to finally unfold. Belegra, a sanctuary of beauty and craftsmanship, is embarking on a magical new chapter, an enchanting extension to the picturesque village of Tulbagh and of the Belegra leather brand, where the pace of life slows to match the rhythm of the seasons and the earth beneath your feet.
Imagine stepping into a storybook landscape where wildflowers dance in the breeze, where olives stretch across sun-dappled fields, and where the simple act of growing food becomes a meditation on connection and care. This is the world we are creating in Tulbagh, a place where asparagus grows tall and proud, where sheep graze contentedly, chickens scratch and cluck their daily songs, and horses roam freely through pastures.
But this is more than just a farm. It is a sanctuary for those seeking to rediscover what it means to truly live. Here, time moves differently. The hustle fades away, replaced by the gentle rhythm of nature's own clock. Accommodation will emerge slowly and thoughtfully, each space designed to honour the land and the experience of those who visit. These will not be rushed constructions, but rather havens built with intention and care.
Throughout the year, seasonal foodie experiences will invite you to taste the bounty of the earth, meals crafted from what grows here, prepared with reverence for the ingredients and the hands that tended them. Every bite will tell a story of soil, sun, and soul.
And then there are the characters who call this place home. Meet Wolf, a magnificent Clydesdale whose gentle strength and soulful eyes welcome everyone he is met by. Beside him stands Otto, his spirited son, half Thoroughbred, carrying the best of both worlds in his noble frame. And completing this unlikely trio is Gizmo, a pint-sized miniature horse whose heart is as vast as the Tulbagh valley itself. These three will become our companions in this journey, reminding you that magic often comes in unexpected sizes and forms.
Our other resident clan of dogs consist of our two character filled Ridgebacks: Juno & Bosbrand, a white Maltese Poodle called Bella with more wisdom than her 10 years of age hold and the three Pomeranian muskateers: Otis, Finn & Millie.
This is an invitation to reconnect with nature, with making, with land, and with yourself. Welcome to the next chapter of Belegra, where every moment promises to be unforgettable.
