Pleasant
Places, which is accredited 4 stars by the Tourism Grading Council of South
Africa and is accredited by the Portfolio Collection, offers home away
from home, comfortable and cosy accommodation in a quiet setting, overlooking
the Lions River and picturesque farming and forest scenes.
The peace
and tranquillity on the farm make for an ideal place of retreat and drawing
aside from daily life.
Visitors
can relax in the lounge, on the patio overlooking the Lions River or find
a quiet spot in the rambling garden. In winter log fires warm the lounge
and dining room. The large number of trees in the garden, the pine forest
along the river and the Blue gum forest higher up are alive with numerous
species of birds to delight keen bird watchers. Birds are very tame and
a variety can be seen while relaxing on the patio. |
| There
are several species of buck in the pastures and forests and, though timid,
have been seen from time to time.
A number
of sections along the river are suitable for swimming, unless it is flooded,
when it becomes dangerous, though exciting tubing down the six rapids can
be enjoyed by the more adventurous.

Those
into mountain biking can ride around in the district and the more adventurous
can tour the famed Midlands Meander route.
There
are a few stables around offering horses, ranging from hacks to more sophisticated
beasts, for those who enjoy horse riding.
Golfers
can arrange a game on the nearby Bosch Hoek Estate Golf Club, known as
one of the prettiest in the country or at the Sakabula Club in Howick.
|
| The
farm is situated in the centre of the famed Midlands Meander arts and crafts
route and visitors can enjoy a day or two driving around seeing all the
goods and services offered by the various members.
