Were did it all start...
... well we were living abroad, working at an exhibition during winter & thats when we had the idea!

Living in Austria was great but the long winters were not. We were working in the Paragliding industry & discovered a niche' market, one that would benefit from the SA climate. Paragliding Pilots wanted weather conditions that were condusive to cross country flying. Good cross country, the further the better. We studied a few years weather reports & decide on De Aar.

But we needed an income, something to sustain us, until we could develope & promote to the Paragliding market. Potties B&B was for sale & small enough that it was affordable. As the flying market grew so did the guest house, but due to our marketing the guesthouse also grew outside of this 'flying season'. We offered a unique Paragliding experience, not only to the flying community but also to other potential guests.

Paragliding Pilots come here to fly far, enjoy the vast open space and breath-taking scenery that is unique to the Karoo. But non-Pilots could also enjoy this unique experience, cause we opened a Paragliding school. We offer training/courses but also Tandem flights. So guests can fly with a pilot were no training is required, just a will for a thrill!.

So if its accommodation you require when passing through De Aar, or a Paragliding adventure, we offer either or both. We offer clean, affordable accommodation with a fun, exciting atmosphere.
