Activities on the Farm
Activities on the Farm
Walking, jogging or mountain biking
Explore the orchards or single track along the foot of the mountain.
Hiking
Stroll along on the two well marked Orchard Routes that follow the farm roads. Alternatively, put on a pair of hiking boots and go explore the 3 rocky mountain routes. There are two sites with rock paintings very close to the cottages with breathtaking views of Ceres Valley and its pink mountains at sunset.
Fairfield Dams
Our big dam with the clubhouse is ideal for skiing & rowing. Bring your own boat or use our paddle skis and canoes. The smaller dam with its clear water is great for bass fishing and snorkeling.
Swimming pool and trampoline
Pool with loungers and shaded lawn between the self catering cottages.
Wildlife
You will run into the Duiker and Klipspringer families roaming between the cottages. Also be on the lookout for fish eagle, hadeda, mongoose, meerkat, geese, guinea-fowl, pheasants, owls and numerous other species of birdlife. At night the Caracals can be heard calling up in the mountains. Please don’t feed any animal on the property.
