Log Cabin
After a long days hike what better place to unwind than in our Log Cabin on our comfy sofas in front of a wood fire with our dogs curled up at your feet.

Bar and Deck
Our bar and deck is the ideal place for sundowners in the evenings. In the mornings it's a divine place to have breakfast with views for as far as the eye can see.

Things to Do and See

Beautiful hikes around the backpackers
Take a walk to our very own waterfall and jump into the rock pool to cool off. Then jump out again and dry off while relaxing on a fallen tree before taking a walk through our Magic Forest where the outside world dissapears and the indigenous forest envelops you. Finally, if you have time, head over to our 3 oldest trees on the farm - giant Yellowoods that are estimated to be over 1000 years old.

Longer Hikes around Natures Valley
Take a more energetic hike in Nature's Valley. You can hike along the coast and over the montains with the Salt River Cove Trail, or through dense forest and Fynbos vegetation with the Kalanderkloof Trail. Of course you could always embark on an epic 5 hour circular jaunt that combines both trails for one of the most amazing day hikes you'll do in South Africa.

Nature's Valley beach is also the end point for the famous 5 day Otter Trail hike. Then there is also the Tsitsikamma Hiking Trail. Both hikes require advanced booking through SAN Parks, contact us for more information. We can arrange a shuttle service to get you to the start of all the hiking trails.

Local Farmstall
Just a short walk away is the local Dairy and Farmstall. Spend lunch here and try their locally produced cheeses then stick around to watch the cows being milked in the afternoons
