@ SURYA Nature Estate
Nature | Gratitude | Creativity | Intuition
Welcome to SURYA
Discover a sanctuary where nature, gratitude, creativity, and intuition come together to create unforgettable experiences.
SURYA Nature Estate, nestled in the serene Baardskeerdersbos valley in the charming Overberg region, offers an off-grid retreat with breathtaking views of the surrounding hills.
SURYALISTIX is the name we gave to the kind of magic that lives here.
It was hard to hold in one word, so we made our own. SURYALISTIX. SURYA, of all kinds. A little playful, a little intuitive, the way real magic tends to be.
It is not something on a shelf. It is a way of seeing. Nina practises it gently, through nature, art, horses and breath, and it has a quiet way of rubbing off on the people who come to stay.
At SURYA we live close to the land and share that closeness with you. Everything here is made with love and care.
What lives here right now
A place to stay and slow down. Modern Mini Houses held by fynbos and sky, for couples and nature lovers ready to unwind and come home to themselves. The same land opens gently for small weddings, retreats and quiet gatherings, with the well-loved Murasie wedding venue just 2 km away, and our own retreats held here at home.
Time with the horses. In a calm, unhurried space, our horses meet you exactly as you are. People often arrive carrying a lot and leave a little lighter, having understood something about themselves that words had not quite reached.
Nature coaching for grown-ups. One to one, out in the open, where the fynbos and the wide horizon do half the work, and your own inner voice grows clear again.
Riding for children. Gentle first rides that grow joy and quiet confidence, including sessions held with love for children with special needs.
Our Philosophy
What does SURYA stand for? It comes from the Sanskrit word for “sun,” symbolizing our energy provider and a source of inspiration. Our philosophy aligns with this radiant energy:
S – See the beauty
U – Use your senses
R – Ride the flow
Y – Yes to life
A – All is possible
Choose your direction...
Energy flows where attention goes. We all have the choice to direct our energy toward what truly matters in our lives. At SURYA, we focus on the beauty of nature that we nurture and the deep sense of connection we foster. Our greatest joy comes from seeing guests leave inspired, happy, and recharged after their stay or visit at SURYA.
Horse Experiences
Nina cherishes the healing and insights that naturally unfold when horses and humans connect as partners. You can book a horse-facilitated coaching session with her individually, in a group, or as part of a workshop during a collaboration event. These sessions are perfect for anyone on a journey toward a more authentic and balanced life and often bring profound healing to the soul.
Events, Retreats & Venue
Our tranquil and versatile venue is perfect for your next event or retreat. With a 60sqm Retreat space, complemented by a 40sqm elevated verandah that offers wide, undisturbed views of the valley and mountain range, you will be immersed in the beauty of nature. Additionally, there is a braai area nestled under the trees and protected from the South East wind by a wall with a window in it, giving you shelter without limiting the stunning view.
We welcome like-minded individuals and organizations to collaborate with us on workshops, retreats, and events. If you resonate with our energies and vision, contact us to discuss your ideas and collaboration opportunities.

SURYA offers thoughtfully designed, self-contained spaces set within the open landscape of the farm. Each unit invites guests to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the simplicity of comfortable off-grid living.
