Welcome to The Blue Butterfly

​In the tranquil Tulbagh Valley, just over an hour and a half from Cape Town, you will find The Blue Butterfly nestled in the heart of the Welbedacht Game and Nature Reserve.

Here, there are trails that meander through diverse and natural plant lands, a range of flowers for every season, an abundant variety of birdlife and both small and large game species that roam within the Reserve.

Surrounded by the majestic Winterhoek Mountains, this is a beautiful and natural setting for retreats, workshops and getaways.
