The latest addition to the island infrastructure is a thatch and wood deck, set in a private area of miombo woodland forest behind the camp. Here Renee Watson, a well known pilates master trainer from Cape Town who has moved to Cape Maclear, runs yearly specialised pilates retreats for anyone interested. These have been a great success.

The deck is otherwise simply a lovely secluded spot to which guests can retreat to bird watch, do some yoga or simply enjoy a quiet moment in the forest.
