Mama Pixie and her brother, George, were adopted by their grandparents and grew up on a farm “Mpanza” in KwaZulu-Natal. As a young girl she would spend many days and hours in the forests and rivers looking for the mythical river fairies from traditional Zulu folklore. Throughout her life, she has been fascinated by the silent world of fairies and pixies.

The farm “Mpanza” has since been incorporated into the Zulu Kingdom and is no longer in the family’s hands. There is not much left of it today, but fond memories, broken dam walls, and the ruins of a once-proud Mpanza homestead.

Mama Pixie found her inner peace by creating “The World-Class Attraction”: The Magical fantasy that is the “Pixie and Fairy Village.”

DO YOU BELIEVE IN FAIRIES?

Well….they are residing in The Pixie and Fairy Village, situated on the West Coast in Jacobs Bay.

This unique Pixie and Fairy Village was created from the whimsical imagination of ‘Pixie’ Maritz, who grew up on a family farm called Mpanza in Kwa-Zulu Natal, where according to local custom, it was where the “river fairies” inhabited the river banks.

As a child, Pixie grew up amid the misty forests, rivers and mountains on farmlands where her imagination flourished. Her deep love for this environment has manifested in the fantastical Village, capturing the imagination of young and old.

Spend time with the Pixies and Fairies amongst their natural forest environment and revel in the ongoing work of innovative artists. Artists such as Clifford Noi, Trish Lazenby and Marcel Maximilian who have also contributed to the artwork.

Mama Pixie feels that each Pixie and Fairy in the Village has taken on a spirit of their own and has their own identity, she requests that children do not touch them, so as not to disturb their peaceful Village experience.
