It is a natural watercourse, with dams in places, in the upper catchment of the North Sand River. The lower end of the sanctuary is a classic example of tropical indigenous forest with many smaller plant species and abundant birdlife. The sanctuary is home to over 500 tree ferns (Alsophylla dregeana), some of which tower nearly 5 meters high. It is one of the finest collections of this species in the country. The site is also part of the Jock of the Bushveld Conservancy. The farm itself is run as a commercial operation where avocados, ginger, flower bulbs, protean and various exotic berries are grown for the export market. The guests are encouraged to discover the daily farming operations for themselves by going walk-about. As we are situated on a high feature in the Lowveld overlooking the Kruger National Park, the climate is mild with summer temperatures seldom rising above 25 degrees Celsius. This is a great advantage in the summer months when temperatures in the Lowveld can be unbearably high. All the Lowveld tourist attractions, including the Kruger National Park, Lowveld Botanical Gardens, Sabie, Graskop, Pilgrims Rest, God's Window, Bourke's Luck Potholes, Blyde River Canyon, Sudwala Caves and other attractions are within easy reach.
