There is several hiking trials in and around our village. You can enjoy the hospitality of a few restaurants and appreciate the surroundings. We have a ghost tour that can be arranged, the famous Adams Calender is also nearby and can also be viewed on appointment. If you want peace and quiet, this is the place to be. We are also on route to The Kruger National Park, nearest game Malelane Gate.
