It is with profound sadness that we learned of the passing of Chef Richard Poynton on 28 July 2026.

Richard was an extraordinary chef, gracious host and a passionate ambassador for South African hospitality.

His dedication to excellence, genuine hospitality and unwavering commitment to creating moments of joy around the table left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him. His legacy will continue to inspire chefs, hoteliers and food lovers for generations to come.

Our heartfelt condolences go to Mouse, the Poynton family and the entire Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse team during this incredibly difficult time.

Rest peacefully Richard.

Thank you for the memories, the inspiration and the remarkable legacy you leave behind. You will be deeply missed. 🕊️

A huge thank you to Marcus for setting up a trail camera near our spa bomas and capturing some of the incredible nocturnal wildlife that calls Indigo home.

It's a beautiful reminder that while we sleep, nature comes alive. 🦉🌿

Some of our regular night-time visitors include:
🐗 Bushpig
🦔 Cape Porcupine
🐇 Scrub Hare
🦊 Small-spotted Genet
🐆 Serval
🐈Occasionally, the elusive Caracal

Listen closely after dark and you may also hear the haunting calls of the Spotted Eagle-Owl and the Fiery-necked Nightjar, adding to the magic of an evening in the Midlands.

And every so often, nature reminds us just how wild this landscape truly is. A Cape Leopard was famously captured on a nearby camera trap between Brookdale Health Hydro and Rawdons Hotel, highlighting the remarkable biodiversity of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands corridor.

At Indigo Fields, every day brings tranquillity... and every night holds the promise of something extraordinary. 🌙💚
