Fynbos Guest Farm

A wander around the site is a good place to start (there’s plenty of space for such activities, after all…), but if you want a lengthier hike, it’s recommended that you head to the Witzenberg Nature Reserve (10 minutes’ drive), for mountain paths and splendid lakes views. For a different way to see the scenery, exchange hiking shoes for horse riding boots at the stables 15 minutes’ drive away or take it all in at high speed whizzing along at Ceres Zipslide Adventures (also 15 minutes). Something a little more leisurely? If you’re here in the right season, stick around in Ceres (15 minutes) to tour through a fruit farm, plucking punnets full of juicy cherries. They’ll be a fab follow-up to your evening braai, and it’ll be even better if you pick up a bottle or two from the wine estates around Tulbagh (15 minutes). Head a little further from the site for trips to Karoo National Botanical Gardens (half an hour) or to the famed wineries and foodie shops around Paarl.
