There are lots of walks, canoeing etc etc. firewood is provided as well as a fully equipped kitchen.

Hosts: Natasja & Koos Wentsel

Date visited: Thursday 09/08/07 - Sunday 12/08/07

Friends that joined us:
Gathry, Vannessa, Branston, Janine, Nadine, Athony, Carol, Megan, Charnel, Chris, Fiona

Highly recommended spot, fully equipped & can sleep 15 people, close to a dam (must be great in summer but since it was cold we didn't make use of it for swimming). We were welcomed by Natasja with some vetkoek and wine - delicious!

The place is also close to Robertson and Bonnievale wine region so plenty of wine farms to visit for wine tasting. We visited Van Loveren (you get free fritters there, if you like 4 Cousins then this is the place to visit), Bon Courage (good wines & port here) and the best place for wine & muscadel was De Wets Hof (Danie de Wet wine's). There's a cheese factory and hot springs close by.

A great weekend was had by all!!
