Staff

Cedrick is maintenance manager and gardener and on-site car valet. Bernie is our housekeeper, (and can cook up a delicious curry if you prefer to eat in!)

Both are generous with their smiles, laughter and helpfulness.

Animals

Our 4-footers Wally, Diesel and Floortje (meaning little flower) are friendly and alert. Their job is to welcome you and make certain that the property is guarded day and night. This they do diligently always making sure our guests come and go safely and that Sorgh Vliet Lodge retains is atmosphere of peace and tranquillity.

Bartje our ‘pog’ (pig who thinks he is a dog!) has recently joined the family and is entertaining!

For those who love horses we have a TTouch Practitioner who offers workshops and consultations at Sorgh Vliet Lodge Stables.

The Tellington TTouch Equine Awareness Method is a teaching method for horses that incorporates body work, ground exercises and riding exercises to help improve co-ordination, balance, and athletic ability whilst deepening further communication and understanding between the horse and its owner/carer.
