5. Pure restoration and tranquility

Settlers Drift offers all the the comfort, luxury, service and spa treatments that equal restoration and inner peace. Gazing down from the decks overlooking the Bushmans river, it feels as if time has stood still since the last feet to have touched this remote valley were those of the 1820 Settlers as they guided their wagons across the river. Visiting Settlers Drift takes you back in time, removes you from all the stresses of modern day life and creates an environment for pure tranquility and restoration.
