Were did it all start...

.. well, we (Arnold & Des), were living abroad, working at an exhibition during a long cold winter when we had the idea!

Living in Austria was great but the long winters were not.

We were working in the Paragliding industry when we discovered a niche' market, a market that would thrive from the SA climate.

Paragliding Pilots wanted weather conditions that were condusive to cross country flying.

The better the weather, the further they could fly & the further the better.

So the search was on & we studied a few years weather reports in SA & 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', with guests that also wanted to experience free flight.

So we opened a school & now anyone can come learn how to fly & spend time in the clouds with us!

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. So, we dare you to come visit us...you wont forget us!
