Between the buzzing notifications, endless emails, and constant scroll, it’s no wonder we’re burnt out, distracted, and overstimulated. What if you could press pause on all of it — and give your mind the silence it craves?

This winter, we invite you to step away from the noise and back into your natural rhythm with our curated Digital Detox Retreat at STOEP in Kalk Bay.

And here’s the best part? The first 10 bookings receive a complimentary massage to help you sink even deeper into stillness.

🌿 What is the STOEP Digital Detox?

A 2-day guided reset designed to help you unplug, unwind, and reconnect with yourself — far from screens, stress, and the speed of everyday life.

Tucked between mountain and sea in the historic coastal village of Kalk Bay, STOEP is a boutique bolthole that feels like a homecoming. This winter, we’re turning down the digital dial and inviting you to rest the way nature intended.

✨ What’s Included:

  • Boutique accommodation for 2 nights in warm, character-filled rooms
  • Digital drop-off on arrival — we store your phone so you can fully switch off
  • Restorative daily rituals like journaling, breath-work and cold water plunges
  • Wood-fired hot tub soaks under the stars to soothe and ground
  • Optional extras: creative prompts, slow mornings, spontaneous sea dips
  • Thoughtfully prepared meals & seasonal winter treats — no planning, no fuss
  • A calm, screen-free space designed for reflection, rest, and renewal

🔥 The Bonus: Book Early & Get a Winter Reset Upgrade

To celebrate the launch, we’re offering a limited-time incentive to make your experience even more nourishing.

📬 Is This for You?

There’s a special kind of magic in doing less. Let the sea air, warm fires, and intentional stillness clear space in your mind — and in your life.
