South Coast’s agri tourism route expands
Owned by Rod and Jeanne-Louise Kinsey, the farm includes beautiful guest units for overnight stays, with the gardens a massive attraction.
The South Coast has another addition to its popular Agri Tourism Route with the inclusion of Secret Sithela.
The CEO of South Coast Tourism and Investment Enterprise (SCTIE), Phelisa Mangcu said they are delighted to add Secret Sithela as another valuable inclusion to their Agri Tourism Route.
She said the South Coast has an abundance of agricultural land that is just waiting to be explored, and visitors will enjoy the beauty and unique farmland attractions of Secret Sithela.
Secret Sithela is a 30-acre eco-estate in Munster, with 18 acres registered as a conservancy area named Kathleen Kinsey Nature Reserve after the founder’s mother.
Owned by Rod and Jeanne-Louise Kinsey, the farm includes beautiful guest units for overnight stays, with the gardens a massive attraction.
Since 2016, Jeanne-Louise has developed expansive herb, vegetable, and indigenous Secret Sithela gardens.
Within five years she had manifested her dream of creating a flourishing food forest with guests able to request herbs and salad greens from the organic garden.
Jeanne-Louise hosts natural farming retreats including Earth Harmony Retreat, and the annual Farming Organic Food Festival.
“We are excited to join the SCTIE Agri Tourism route as we believe this will increase our exposure to those tourists and locals who are interested in a nature and climate-friendly holiday experience. Secret Sithela is a living natural library with so much to share about the joys of farming in harmony with nature, and we are passionate about sharing this knowledge with others. We also hope to bring more exposure to our sister project Khula Kanyekanye in nearby KwaNzimakwe consisting of 18 smallholder family food gardeners. We share knowledge, seeds, seedlings, friendship and food,” she said.
Secret Sithela joins the Agri Tourism Route, one of many epic adventures to be had on the KZN South Coast. With 11 quality golf courses found throughout the KZN South Coast, the ‘Golf Coast’ remains a favourite destination for both leisure and MICE [meetings, incentives, conferences, and events] destination! The subtropical climate and diverse natural landscape also set the scene for the ultimate in agri-tourism and extreme adventure.
