You can also go hiking through the Protea fields and the indigenous areas and forests. The beach, where you can do bird watching, canoeing, whale and dolphin watching is not far, neither are places for wine tasting, restaurants and shops.

The whole area is perfect for all sorts of adventurous outdoor activities like horse riding, kloofing or skydiving. The land is full of bird life, game like bushbuck, steenbock or porcupine are strolling over the farm's ground.

Love for nature is one of the key qualities of the property, meaning that it not only lies in a beautiful area between mountains and fields, giving stunning views from the rooms but also that the owners are being aware of the fragility of this kingdom of beauty.

That's why they keep their carbon footprint as low as possible and take an active part in the fight for nature by alien clearing and reusing the harvested timber for furniture making on the farm, which also provides jobs for people from the local community.
