Fraser's Olive Garden Retreat is wholly owned and operated by Cliff and Çiğdem Fraser.
After twenty-five years in the tourism and hospitality business, curtailed by the experiment CoVid19, we diverted our energies towards promoting our already established interests in Yoga, Meditation and Alternative Therapies.
Initially operating at our home Yoga Studio, our planned expansion demanded more space, additional visitors accommodation and purpose designed buildings.
Our existing twenty-two hectare hillside Olive Grove was an ideal location at which to build our 'Retreat' and initial stone wall, buildings and landscaping works commenced in April 2020. Following the completion of the 850 meter long natural stone boundary wall, reception office/tower, three eight person 'forest' houses, a swimming pool and a 90m2 Yoga studio, the center was opened in November 2021. The project is a work in progress and it will take several years to complete all the facilities we have planned.
We are a non-profit organization with all proceeds being used to further develop the project, help stray dogs and cats and provide free services to local children. In 2019, with the welcome assistance from the local authority we set up the first and only children's library in our local town of Mumcular.
