Welcome to Kiva Moya
Kiva Moya Nature Retreat is set in a sheltered and quiet valley, nestled amongst the wild spaces of Buffelsfontein in the Magaliesberg Biosphere.
We offer a quiet refuge for a peaceful and rejuvenating stay within a short 1.5hr drive from Johannesburg or Pretoria.
Kiva Moya's backdrop is a 115 ha farm which is home to a range of antelope and small bush mammals. A space where you can immerse in the tranquility of nature, explore walking trails with beautiful views of the Magaliesberg Mountains, take a stroll along the Hex River, dip your toes in the refreshing waters, walk the Sky Labyrinth, indulge in personalised healing experiences, and rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul.
The Thatch House offers comfortable farm-style accomodation for intimate retreats, family getaways & groups of friends to gather.
The Cozy Caravan is the ideal personal hideaway. It is a rustic, tiny-home living experience in a stationary caravan with views of the Valley. This space calls for you to nurture a deeper connection with your Self, a loved one & the beauty of Nature.
We are a Healing Sanctuary focussed on re-igniting our collective remembrance of ancient ways of being and living in an intimate relationship with the Earth and the Elements that shape our day-to-day lives. Our trusted Practitioners, Guides and Plant Medicine Facilitators offer a number of on-site experiences & modalities to support your Spiritual Growth and ever evolving consciousness.
Welcome
Everyone needs a place to retreat;
a spot where the world grows quiet enough
for the Soul to speak.

Things to do
Explore our Walking Trails
We invite you to explore the land. Ascend the Hill Trail to take in stunning vistas of the Magaliesberg Mountains. Along the way, stop to walk the Sky Labyrinth, admire the Sugarbush (Protea Caffra) that grace our hillside, discover medicinal plants, and immerse yourself in the rich diversity of flora and fauna found on the hill.
For a cooler experience, wander down the River Trail to reach the Hex River, where you can picnic along the cool banks and dip your toes in the refreshing waters.
Use of trails is exclusively for the enjoyment of our Guests.
No day visitors.
Walk the Sky Labyrinth
We invite you to experience the enchanting Sky Labyrinth perched atop the Hill, where each step leads you on a transformative journey. Labyrinths have long been celebrated as sacred spaces that encourage reflection, meditation, and personal discovery. As you walk the winding path, allow your thoughts to settle and your spirit to awaken, connecting with the tranquility of nature around you. This mindful journey can help you find clarity, cultivate inner peace, and deepen your spiritual awareness. Join us in this serene setting and embrace the profound benefits that a walk through the labyrinth can bring to your spiritual journey.

Explore the Magaliesberg Biosphere
The area known as the Craddle of Humankind is on our doorstep. Rich in history and steeped in mystery, the Magaliesberg is one of the (if not THE) oldest mountain ranges in the world. From the formation of the first land mass on the planet, to the discovery of early hominids, to Iron Age villages, the first gold mines in South Africa, war memorials and great names having staked their claim to fame on these lands. There is a little something for every type of explorer & heritage enthusiast.
Explore the Magaliesberg Heritage Map portal. A useful resource for researchers, scholars, heritage enthusiasts and tourists. It contains a digital catalogue of the first 50 sites of the Magaliesberg Region’s heritage where you can view pictures, explore the data and plan your Cultural explorations.
“The Caravan at Kiva Moya is a wonderful place to stay that gave me a real chance to recharge. The set up is basic, but very comfortable and fun, and everything you need is there in ample supply. Cláudia is an incredibly generous host, and the property is magical and wild. It's a great bush getaway close to the city. My experience was also really private, which was lovely.”
