Activities:
We are situated in an area rich in its historical past and hugely conscious of its natural heritage and eco-sensitive surroundings.
The Lodge offers a wide range of excursion activities from wine routes, to farm visits for the young and old, historical tours and visits to surrounding game farms, the De Hoop nature reserve, various fynbos and protea dune and coastal floral reserves.
Then there are the excellent fishing opportunities in the river & sea and rock & surf. You will find it hard to be bored while staying with us in relative pampered luxury with so much to see and do.
