The thatched roof homestead is a fully operational Bed & Breakfast with seven luxury en-suite bedrooms each with its own private entrance leading from a courtyard. The rooms are each fitted with fridge and coffee/tea facilities. Also on the farm is an historical tree called the “Raadsboom” which was the first meeting place for the district council to meet in the early 1900’s.

One of the many features is the 4x4 trails. The mountainous terrain has approximately 40km of different 4x4 routes for the outdoor adventure lover. The Buffelsriver runs through the farm and in the dry season there are seven kilometers of riverbed to explore. Others trails include Quad Bike trails, mountain bike trails, hiking trails and interesting historical features, such as one of the original routes followed by the Voortrekkers called “Burke's Pass” and the former Northern Boundary of the Cape Colony until 1804 known as the “Buffels River”. Night drives can also be arranged to see “night life” and predators like jackal and other animals including porcupine, bat-eared foxes, links, aardvark, etc. Due to no light pollution and natural “darkness” on the farm and surrounding areas, this is the ideal place for any stargazer to drift into the stars.
