Farm Animals

Everyone enjoys our farm animals such as chickens and geese, and when last did you see a turkey or a donkey? Visit the Jersey cows at the dairy where you can see the milking process. Please feel free to feed our Donkeys some bread, and they just love chips or popcorn! Don’t forget the chickens, ducks and geese. We don’t mind you feeding the dogs or cats.

Farm Hikes, Jogging and Mountain Biking

The farm itself is great for a casual hike to the White Umfolozi River where a picnic can be enjoyed. We also have a marked circular route laid out for hikes, jogging or mountain biking. Just follow the white yellow signs along the path.

Bird Watching

Our farm hosts a rich bird-life and bird-lovers can enjoy the sights and sounds of our indigenous bird species. We have birds of three habitats on the Farm. Grass veld, Mountain & Water birds. Please feel free to wander the farm & enjoy natures open air. A Bird List is available at Reception.
