Eingedi Retreat is a 2-star self-catering exclusive establishment, situated on a 530Ha game farm, in the E. Freestate between Ladybrand and Hobhouse.
The beautiful views of the Maluti Mountains, together with the wildlife, numerous birds, natural forest, plains, mountains and valleys, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, all work together to create a space of tangible peace, tranquility and quietness to refresh and restore the body, soul and spirit.
We definitely love families and children. We have gone the extra mile to create a place where different generations can get together and enjoy building relationships, by spending time together playing, resting, and sharing experiences.
Eingedi endeavours to provide a family-friendly environment based on biblical principles.
We offer numerous activities and experiences for guests of all ages to enjoy:

Eingedi Retreat is located 30km from Ladybrand, our nearest town, 2,5km off the R26, on the way to Hobhouse/Wepener. The R26 is a link road from Mpumalanga, Gauteng, & KZN to the Western & Eastern Cape provinces.
You can find us in the Eastern Free State, South Africa,. We are approximately a 3,5 hour's drive from the Kwa-Zulu Natal Drakensberg border; 2 hrs from the Eastern Cape border, and 1 hour 30 min from Bloemfontein, the capital city of the Free State.
We are literally situated not far from the center of South Africa.
Eingedi is strategically located 35 km from Maseru, the capital city of Lesotho, and is ideally situated for exploring Lesotho with day trips to the Mountain Kingdom.
Eingedi Retreat is located on the R26, the E.Freestate mountain route, which hugs the Western frontier of Lesotho.
This important North/South link road journeys through the Eastern edge of the Free State prairies. For more or less the entire distance the massive ramparts and pinnacles of the Maluti Mountains in Lesotho are etched along the horizon, as you drive through cattle, sheep, maize, cherry, and sunflower farms, with roads edged by pink blossoms in Spring, from the many peach trees growing wild. Golden sandstone cliffs, as well as random spurs and outcrops, complete the picturesque scenery.
The random little towns along the road, have numerous buildings built from sandstone, hewn from the hills in large quantities down the ages. These settlements bore the brunt of many border hostilities in the second half of the 19th century.
An exceptionally stunning part of our country.
