MTB (MOUNTAIN BIKING) Bring along your own mountain bike or hire one from us while staying at Pat Busch and explore the Klaasvoogds Meander. Our mountain trails are probably too steep for MTB enthusiasts, but we do have a map of the local gravel backroads which many bikers enjoy. Please enquire for a MTB map when booking or check out our info books in the cottages! BASS FISHING Our freshwater mountain dam is a short walk from the accommodation. The dam wall has some lawn with seating & shade, plus a large jetty from which you can fish, although the water is quite accessible from the wall. There are row boats, kayaks, canoes & SUPs if you’d like to fish from the water, alternatively bring your own float tube. Life vests & oars / paddles are available at reception, please enquire for pricing & book at reception. Bring along your own fishing tackle for largemouth bass & Kurper (Tilapia) fishing on a strict catch & release basis (C & R).
SUP, PADDLING & KAYAKING ON THE DAM Our freshwater mountain dam is a short walk from the accommodation. The dam wall has some lawn with seating & shade, plus a large jetty to launch from. There are row boats, a single & double kayak, canoes and stand up paddle boards (SUP). Life vests & oars / paddles are available at reception, please enquire for pricing. SWIMMING IN THE DAM Our freshwater mountain dam is a short walk from the accommodation. The dam wall has some lawn with seating & shade, plus a large jetty from which you can jump depending on the dam level (at your own risk). Please practice caution when swimming in the dam.
PICNIC BASKETS We can prepare an authentic wicker picnic basket with scrumptious ingredients for you to enjoy anywhere on the reserve. We do have some picnic spots in mind and can suggest our lush meadow or the dam wall, perhaps on the lawn around the pool, or why not our poplar forest with gurgling stream or our pine forest under the mountain. Please be advised that picnic baskets are by pre-order only, and we recommend at least 2-3 days’ notice to give us sufficient time to plan & prepare the ingredients. This is a great option for that very special occasion be that an anniversary, engagement, or just a romantic escape (PS. We recommend including a bottle of bubbly!) Please enquire for options & pricing. BREAKFAST BASKETS We offer ‘Cook Your Own’ DIY breakfast baskets which are placed in your accommodation for you to prepare and enjoy at your convenience. Pre-order your breakfast basket when making your booking and we’ll advise you of the ingredients & costs.
