Preparing for your stay

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

Essential Preparation

Before You Arrive

Three days before you come, step back from coffee, cigarettes, and alcohol. It isn’t a rule but a suggestion based on our experience. Withdrawal symptoms are manageable on your own schedule. Less so when you are arriving somewhere new for the first time.

 

We don’t serve alcohol or coffee at Bliss & Stars. The programmes are built around sleep quality and nervous system support. Stimulants work against both. We’ll support you through the adjustment while you’re here.

 

We encourage you to arrive early. 

What Not to Bring

  • — Tobacco products or vapes. Bliss & Stars is a non-smoking property.
  • — Food, snacks, or chewing gum.
  • — Alcohol or caffeinated beverages.
  • — Mobile devices in shared spaces. There is no Wi-Fi and no phone signal on the property.

What to Bring

  • — The Cederberg runs hot during the day and cold at night during the winter months (May to August). Pack for both. Laundry facilities are on site, so pack light.
  • — Long-sleeved cotton or linen for sun protection outdoors.
  • — Warm jacket, sweater, or fleece for evenings and early mornings during cooler months.
  • — Exercise clothing.
  • — Hiking boots or trail shoes, and a small backpack.
  • — Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent.
