Fishing: Our rivers are full of trout. We are situated in the Drakensberg area and have excellent trout streams. We have two dams on a farm and a total of 30 km of river.

Hunting: We offer Partridge as well as Rhebuck hunting in a land that embraces a wealth of beautiful fauna and flora. There is a large area of land available for hunting, so you won’t be disappointed. Janbert will be your personal guide, together with his trained pointer “Tom”. We guarantee an unforgettable experience and an enjoyable hunt.

Snow: The peak surrounding the village of Rhodes are often covered in snow during June and July to the middle of August. We also offer skiing at a nearby ski resort.
