A riding centre on the edge of the winelands.


Situated on the edge of the Cape Winelands, this busy riding centre offers cycling, horse riding and the opportunity to spend a working holiday on the farm. There’s free tea, coffee and mielie pap* for breakfast and traditional South African fare on offer. Spend your time out upstairs glued to the big screen TV, in the farm-style kitchen or, best of all, nose to nose with a horse.
