And now for some wonderful news!
The roofs of our 4 Private Ablution blocks have finally made their appearance above the water! 
Yellow Fish
Barble Bliss
Perch Haven
Carp Cove
And here’s the miracle:
Back in the 2023 floods, all four of these blocks completely disappeared beneath the water — gone without a trace.
This time, seeing them stick their heads above water brings a massive wave of relief.
It means:
We don’t have to rebuild them from scratch
The structures have likely remained intact
All that’s needed now is cleaning out, reconnecting plumbing and electricity… and we’ll be ready to welcome back our guests for all the pre-arranged bookings. 
We also have a clear view of Gen Grootblaar, and yes — our iconic Plataan has once again withstood the onslaught and emerged victorious.
If that tree could talk… imagine the stories it could tell. 
Maybe you should pay him a visit and exchange some heartfelt stories with each other over a good old “skemerkelkie” at sunset. 
Our Panache signage also reappeared – “Carika Keuzencamp hier” (Chris Kreef) shining proudly again. And yes, the legendary floating canopy is now gliding freely where it belongs!
The sun’s been out in full swing, drying our earth and lifting our spirits. The mood? Swinging in the branches of our tree sanctuary! 
With all signs pointing to recovery, we might just be up and running sooner than anyone expected. The visible impact of this passionate, family-run business is already showing…
Hope rising. Hope rooted. Hope flowing.
All through “River Hope” — uplifting Christiana one revived booking at a time.
