Out on the farm

Six ways to enjoy the countryside

Walk, picnic, watch the landscape change and experience the seasonal rhythms of a working Overberg farm.

Stretch your legs through owner-approved parts of the veld and surrounding hills, with broad views across the fields.

Ask which routes are open before setting out, as access changes with weather, livestock and farm work.

Look closely for seasonal flowers, natural vegetation and the birds that make their home in the countryside.

The dam adds another peaceful dimension to the landscape. Fishing or swimming may be possible when conditions allow.

Current owner permission is essential. Children require continuous adult supervision near the water.

See how the scenery and daily activity shift with the seasons on a working wheat and sheep farm.

Pack a simple picnic for an approved countryside spot, or return to the cottage for a relaxed farm-style meal around the wooden table.

Watch the light fade across the fields, enjoy the dark country sky and settle into the slower pace of an off-grid evening.
