    I attended a Yoga by candlelight evening at The Alchemy house recently and had the most amazing evening! The room was all setup with candles. Each person had their own blanket and individual carpet to lay their yoga mat on. Maree took us through the most beautiful meditation and yoga flow. We finished up just in time to see the full moon rise up over the mountains. A first for me. We ended the evening with a divine cup of tea around the indoor fire. Beautiful views Beautiful space Beautiful people

    Since the very 1st time l walked into Alchemy House, l was captured by the sheer magnificence of this special space. Maree & Paul create a very sacred experience, & their attention to the smallest of details is very evident & felt. One steps into a container of safe, warm & magical comfort, & leaves feeling inspired, blissed & ready for deep sleep. I look forward to many more shared experiences in this incredible space ☆ thank you!

    I recently had the privilege of staying at alchemy house in Mount Rhodes, nestled amidst the awe-inspiring mountains and offering breathtaking views of the tranquil ocean. It was truly a haven where nature's wonders intertwined with a remarkable host, creating an experience that was unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the magical ambiance that enveloped the property. The location was nothing short of a paradise, with its mystical mountains casting a spellbinding aura and the ocean stretching endlessly in a sea of serene blue. Each morning, as I opened the curtains to reveal the mesmerizing panorama, I felt a sense of awe and gratitude for being a part of such natural splendor. However, it was not just the breathtaking surroundings that made my stay extraordinary; the host, with his incredible warmth and attentiveness, elevated the entire experience. Pauls genuine care and passion for ensuring his guests' well-being was truly inspiring. From the moment I stepped foot into this house, I felt like a cherished member of his extended family. He was always available, ready to offer assistance, provide valuable local insights, and ensure that every aspect of my stay was nothing short of perfection. The accommodations themselves were a testament to the host's impeccable taste and attention to detail. Every corner of the space was thoughtfully designed, seamlessly blending comfort with an undeniable connection to nature. The rooms were havens of tranquility, offering a respite from the outside world. I found myself falling asleep to the silhouettes of the mountain and waking up to the melodious symphony of chirping birds. It was a symphony that reminded me of the inherent beauty of life and our place within it. Whether it was enjoying a morning cup of coffee on the balcony, being mesmerized by the sun setting behind the mountains, or simply strolling through the surrounding forests, I found myself attuned to the rhythms of the natural world. If you seek a space that can transport you to a realm of natural wonder, nourish your spirit, and provide a haven to escape the pressures of daily life, then this is the place for you.

    Alchemy House is a magical space, as you walk in you get a cozy home feeling, a feeling of safety which is great for hosting events. The glass windows give out on to a wonderful view over Hout Bay. You have a feeling that you are part of nature with the greenery surrounding you or the moonlight streaming in.

    What a lovely experience at Alchemy House yesterday evening doing Candlelight Yoga ..... Thank you to Paul and Maree for hosting us and for providing such a peaceful, beautiful space in which to practice yoga. A calming, rejuvenating, fulfilling few hours that set me up perfectly the rest of my week. Namaste.

    I attended a Yoga and Ayurveda workshop at the Alchemy House and could not recommended it more. Aimee, Maree and Paul were fantastic hosts. The yoga class was just perfect and the day was paired with the most incredible ayurvedic lunch + teachings. Aimee taught us how to make our own infused oils! Maree is one of the best yoga teachers I have seen and the day was truly about reconnecting with yourself. Thank you so much to the wonderful Paul, Aimee and Maree. I will be back ❤️❤️

    Alchemy House's 'Yoga by Candlelight' was a new and humbling experience for me. I'm not one to attend rituals, but im so glad that I chose this as one of my first. The space and flow of the ceremony that Maree and Paul created, was both charming and serene. They are both welcoming hosts that are clearly experienced and respectful of the content and purpose they are wanting to pass onto their guests. Spectacular view, safe parking location, warm and clean yoga/meditation space. I look forward to attending the next event they hold! Thank you Maree for your wonderful teachings and guidance through the moon ceremony. Thank you Paul for being a great host and providing a beautiful space.

    I attended a full moon yoga at the Alchemy House and was completely overwhelmed by the experience. The instructor, Maree, has an incredible gift to create and hold a safe space that allows for deep reflection, release and growth. The mix of meditation, mantras and yoga was just perfect, and the supporting soft music that was carefully selected for each part of the 2,5hr session. Having attended sessions like this in many parts of the world, this was by far the best experience. The comfortable set-up with candles and views for days over Hout Bay, the ocean and mountains are simply mind-blowing. What I really enjoyed - and is a huuuuge plus compared to normal gyms or yoga studios - is the fact that the hosts invite you to stay after the session and provide attendees with an opportunity to reflect on the experience and slowly come back into the world. The communication and booking was easy, user-friendly and on point. I can highly recommend the Alchemy House - my expectations were waaaay exceeded. Thank you, I will surely come back for future offerings :)

    I joined Maree and 9 sisters for a Cacao Ceremony and Sister Circle at Alchemy House. Maree brings an energy of Wild Woman Medicine. Her energy and love is powerful, authentic and so real. She created a sacred space where we could all comfortably relax and expand into. I would describe Maree's energy in each offering as truly alchemical - I left feeling more in touch with my inner goddess, transformed and empowered. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💖
