. . . growing the vision

 

Mick's Park is set on the site of the original youth camp at Twinstreams.

THE FACILITIES
Twinstreams is the oldest environmental education centre in KwaZulu-Natal and has developed a fine sense of place over the years. It has come a long way since its original tented camp on the banks of the Amanzimnyama stream but great care has always been taken to maintain its unique and personal character.
Mick's Park is a large open-air venue set under the canopy of several mature flat-crown and yellowwood trees with ringside seats around a smouldering fire.
There is also a lecture area covered with a high, curved roof and open sides to keep the atmosphere of being in a forest. This venue can seat 60 (auditorium-style) or 30 around tables.
The latest addition to the Twinstreams stable of facilities - Sinkwe Centre - is a further 100m into the forest and has been designed to blend into the enclosing bush. It has a modern air-conditioned conference centre which opens out onto a spacious deck set under the spreading branches of a pod mahogany tree (Afzelia quanzensis).
Twinstreams also makes the ideal venue for those wishing to have a large private gathering in unusual surroundings. Our facilities can be rented for functions such as weddings, parties, family get-togethers etc.

MICK'S PARK: Lofts & Dorms
Mick's Park has two raised sleeping lofts under a high roof, giving groups an outdoor camping experience but in an indoor comfort zone.
Here groups of up to 30 youngsters can sleep on mattresses (provided by us). There are also two dorm rooms which can accommodate an extra six people in either a four-bed or two-bed room.
Mick's Park has kitchen facilities and a recently renovated ablution block with six showers, basins and toilets.

MICK'S PARK: Cabins & Camping
There are two small, electrified wooden cabins in a patch of forest situated between Sinkwe Centre and Mick's Park.
Each cabin contains two single beds.
Close to the cabins is a shared bathroom with a shower, toilet and basin.
There is also an undercover outdoor 'lounge' available for use by cabin residents.
Camping is also permitted under the trees around Mick's Park but campers need to bring their own tents.
The kitchen at Mick's Park can be hired.

SINKWE CENTRE
Sinkwe Centre can accommodate up to 32 guests in eight comfortable rooms each with two double-bunk beds.
It has a large, well-equipped, modern kitchen and ablution facilities (six showers, four basins and four toilets).
We have recently added a modern, well-equipped conference room to the Centre and have improved the lighting in around the indoor courtyard and deck.
