Only 6km away from the Lovely Barrydale tourist town. Plenty of site seeing, wine routes, restaurants and things to do in and around our beautiful Karoo Barrydale area. The Tradouw pass kloof with the waterfalls, picnic site and kloof swimming is one of our spectaculor attractions. Grootvadersbosch and Sabona wild nature reserve are amongst the to do list. Please ask for any info.
