A brief history of the area
In the 19th century, the three Nel brothers came across an exceptional piece of land while grazing their cattle around the valley. This land was set high in the hills overlooking the valley. It boasted a year-long subtropical climate with soothing breezes and breathtaking views. The brothers established their family homestead on the peaceful sanctuary, calling it The Rest.

Today, the Nel brothers' descendants still own homes on land that is now known as The Rest Nature Estate.
