Things to Do
How to make the most of your stay and capture precious moments is up to you: walk in the mountains with no one around and discover your own Bushman rock art, swim in the Breede River or dip in one of the mountain streams with the kids, early morning birding from a kayak, harvest your own grapes and taste wine, play board games with the teenagers, tractor and trailer ride to the nearest wine farm, read the book that you never have time for, picnic on the river bank with a slack fishing line nearby, a sun downer cruise in an old fashion rowing boat with glass of Sauvignon Blanc in the hand and cheese platter from the farm shop, gaze at the stars and make a wish, cuddle in the Jacuzzi admiring the full moon or you could just simply relax and enjoy the exhilarating peace of this unspoilt paradise from the luxury of your cottage. This resort allows you to experience a relaxing time with your family, loved ones and/or with your friends!
