Tucked away in a side street of Swellendam is a gateway opening into a wonderland of faeries, gnomes, wizards, unicorns, elves, butterflies and much more.
In 1991 Minky and Ian Sulin left the rat race, moved to Swellendam and opened their garden and home to share the magical wonderland they’d created. They encourage visitors to work closely with the faeries and angels to heal themselves as well as the earth and to enjoy a more positive and uplifting way of life, to be the adventure it truly is.

Strolling through the garden, stopping at alcoves, water features and reading signs: “faeries are nature’s guardian angels,” and “pixies remind us to have fun,” we then wandered around the house - an Aladdin’s cave of everything to do with the faerie world.
Ian and Minky are potters display their work in the gallery and shop along with that of 60 contributors from all over South Africa. Sulina is a non-profit organisation with the proceeds going to local charities including AIDS orphans, street children and alcoholic abuse.
