Fly Fishing

We offer some of the finest fly-fishing in South Africa. Below the natural waterfall barrier guests are able to fish for Clanwilliam Yellowfish (Barbus Capensis) and Clanwilliam Sawfin (Barbus Serra) and while above the waterfall are Brown Trout.

Please note: Only barbless hooks may be used and no fish may be taken from the river.

Relaxing on the River

Simply lie back, relax and soak up nature at its finest on the waters of the Olifants River. Or just sit on the stoep to catch up on that eluding novel and look out at the most spectacular views.

Birding

While the greater Cederberg area is not abundant in bird life there are a number of rare and threatened species, and there are a number of Verreaux’s Eagle which nest on the property. You will also spot swallows making nest in the open bathrooms of Swallow’s Croft.

Hiking

There are a number of Hiking Trails catering for all levels of fitness and ability. Guests are provided with a map of the area indicating trails and areas of special interest.
