🦓 Prime Location & Natural Setting
This extraordinary property is surrounded by the majestic Waterberg Mountains, offering uninterrupted bushveld views and a tranquil, private atmosphere.

A perennial river runs through the reserve, dividing it into two lush sections with abundant grass and water. Remarkably, the river has continued to flow year-round over the past four years, supported by an average annual rainfall of over 600 mm.

The area is steeped in history — with artefacts dating back to the Stone Age — and enriched by the diverse cultural heritage of the Bapedi, Tswana, Basotho, and Voortrekker communities. The reserve provides visitors with both natural splendour and a unique sense of place.
