Enjoy a meal in the onsite restaurant. The property also has a kids playground, putt putt and little farm yard. Cheese tours available on request.
The location is a little remote and you cannot see your neighbours. It is however perfectly situated for the individual looking for a peaceful location that allows for travel between Cape Vidal and Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park.
