This year, the theme of the weekend is absolutely anything green and growing!

The walk will be slow and gradual and can be enjoyed by all ages. Remember to bring along a hat, sunscreen, and water. After the morning walk, you can enjoy lunch at your croft or at our Foodspace restaurant. An excellent option here is to pre-order one of our Foodspace Picnic Boxes, which will be ready and waiting for you at Reception. The picnic boxes are available at R365 for 2 people.
