A yoga and wellness retreat at Tokara Wine Estate, designed to the PG Bison 1.618 brief: We Gather. We Do. We Rise.
Guests move from arrival to practice to recovery, with the vineyards and mountains framed as the backdrop to every ritual.
Stone, concrete, timber and glass ground the retreat in the Cape Winelands.

Stone, concrete, timber and wide glazing ground the retreat in the landscape, from the locker room to the sauna.
A sensory journey from activity to stillness, connection and renewal.
Guests change at the main estate and ride up through the vineyards by 4x4, leaving daily life behind.
A glass-wrapped yoga studio frames the mountains. The reformer studio is more enclosed and warmed by timber.
Sauna, cold plunge, outdoor showers and a coffee bar where strangers become familiar faces.
