Great place for weekend outings when the weather plays along, they often have music being played live on the weekends and you can take in a picnic basket and enjoy the wonders of South African vegetation.

The indigenous flora is well maintained and the grass for picnicking is ample and lush! The waterfall is the piece de resistance! So calming and peaceful! A real treat for a relaxing family day! Remember they dont have any dustbins, because of the birds and other animals, so what you take in, you take out. Defiantly worth the trip! Take... More
