For the avid fly fisherman try you hand at catching wild rainbow or brown trout on the 3,5km of pristine river frontage.

Test the river strength and rapids with our comfortable tubes on a mild 1½ hr journey – fun for all ages, or the more adventurous challenge of 4hrs for the less faint-hearted. Book an hour’s Archery lesson in Robin Hood’s little forest and get the adrenalin rush of hitting a bulls eye!

The legendary Alan Paton’s Express (“Cry for me beloved country”) offers scheduled train trips reliving the past and an experience of traveling back in time in one of the only trains of its kind still operational.

For the rugby or sports fanatics - Yes! Saturday afternoons the big screen LCD 42” TV gets switched on (if there is a big match) and we celebrate afterwards with a traditional “potjie” or “braaivleis” dinner.
