From mountain adventures to trout fishing rivers and dams, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Explore nature reserves, visit the endangered bearded vulture program, or simply relax and take in the breathtaking views.

Our family favourites
Located just 30km from our property, Giants Castle Reserve offers a variety of walks, hikes, and experiences for the whole family. We recommend the family-friendly walk to the Bushman paintings cave, where you can join educational guided tours on the hour from 9 am. Giants Castle also features amenities such as restaurants, a curio shop, and picnic sites, making it a perfect destination for a day out with loved ones.
Highmoor Reserve boasts several trout dams open to day visitors for a small fee. The reserve offers two main grassland walks, including the Aasvoelkrans cave hike, which leads to a beautiful waterfall and rock pools suitable for swimming. Although more strenuous, Caracal Cave offers magnificent views for those seeking a challenge. Please note that the reserve operates on a cash-only basis.
Known for protecting some of South Africa's best-preserved rock art paintings, Kamberg Reserve offers daily guided tours for visitors. The reserve features stocked trout dams and various grassland walks, making it an excellent destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Our family favourite is the Roman Baths walk, a scenic 11-13km round trip. While the path may not be well-marked, the journey is well worth it for the breathtaking rock pools and cascading falls that await.
