Global Book Launch: Pink Bucket by Dolar Vasani

Join us for an engaging conversation with author Dolar Vasani, moderated by Clare Thomas.

In Pink Bucket: Glyphosate and My Cancer Journey, Dolar shares her personal experience with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a blood cancer, and explores the hidden impact of synthetic pesticides on our health, environment, and future generations.

Part memoir, part accessible science, Pink Bucket invites us to ask: What’s in your bucket?

🌿 Inspired by nature. Where dreams take flight.

The Goliath Heron Suite is named after the largest of all herons — with a nesting pair just a few hundred metres from In Toto.

Winter is a beautiful time to slow down in Sedgefield — crisp mornings, quieter beaches, lagoon mist, seasonal flavours at our local markets and warm sunsets to end the day.

Wake to birdsong, open views and unhurried comfort in a suite designed for stillness and restoration.

✨ Winter specials available.
✨ Stay a little longer. Book direct.

The word for the week that was is GRATITUDE. As with the rest of the Garden Route we were also caught in the snare of the storm, but thanks to so many people we weathered the storm and the water stopped short of the In Toto.

Our BIGGEST SHOUT OUT is to our neighbours, our community, our partners and our guests for all your support before, during and after the storm. Thankfully a few days later we could welcome Hamish’s and his nearest and dearest to celebrate his milestone birthday, beauty of life, and our very wonderful world.

These pictures show how close the water came but as the last picture shows we thankfully remained dry and are still continuing to offer world class accomodation.
