BAR
The bar has stool seating around the bar counter, tables,
chairs, TV and a pool table. Right outside the bar and kiosk
are sociable table and bench combinations overlooking the
poor golfers trying to correct slices and hooks and draws
and pulls on the driving range.
GOLF DRIVING RANGE
There is a 300m driving range near the bar and kiosk area.
Balls are hired by the bucket.
PUTT PUTT
The putt-putt course has 9 holes with felt covering and
the usual obstacles. Clubs and balls can be hired.
JACUZZI
Next to the heated pool is a Jacuzzi inside a separate brick
house with a lockable door. Hire by the hour.
SWIMMING POOLS
There is a normal temperature (only the brave use it in
winter) big swimming pool with a big water slide, in very
beautiful surroundings with lots of braai facilities under
lots of trees. And a heated pool, which is heated even in
winter, near the bar and lapa area. A non-heated kiddies
pool is next to the heated pool.
DAY VISITORS
Day visitors are welcome (no busses or taxis without prior
arrangement please). The big pool and braai area is especially
popular with day visitors, but they can use all the resort
facilities, including the heated pool.
KIDDIES PLAYGROUND
There is a complete skate park for skate boards and BMX's,
with all the usual jumps and pipes and things. There are
two trampolines, swings, a combination of climbing, crawling
and swinging apparatus, a sand pit and two jumping castles.
HIKING
There are no special routes or organised hiking trails,
but the resort is 20 hectares, with a big area not often
used. This includes a mostly dry river bed and some semi
jungle that can be explored.
ELECTRICITY
Although load-shedding had been less than in most places,
we have our own back-up generators. One is a 65 KVA and
a 120 KVA Deutz generators. Really enough to run the whole
resort.
KIOSK SHOP
The kiosk shop is next to the bar and stocks the usual ice,
sweets, cigarettes, cooldrinks, chips, ice cream, milk,
sugar, bread, coffee, tea, tinned food, firewood, charcoal,
tooth stuff, toiletries, etc....
RESTAURANT
The fully licensed restaurant (named "The Restaurant")
is independently run by the owner chef. It overlooks the
big pool and caters for anything from hamburgers to lavish
meals. It is tastefully furnished (the owner is quite artistic)
with good ambience and is a nice sociable place to be.
GROUPS, CONFERENCES, WEDDINGS, BIRTHDAYS,
CELEBRATIES
The resort is ideally situated for this, being less than
an hour's drive(more in peak traffic) from Johannesburg
or Pretoria and having the facilities to cater for all sizes
of groups. Crockery and cutlery is hired out by the resort.
There is a semi-open lapa and an enclosed conference centre.
Tents and marquees can be erected on the driving range to
accommodate thousands. There is enough electricity to drive
the biggest bands in the country. The biggest marquee thus
far was 80 meters by 21 meters, but can be up to 200 meters
long, plus other tents on the open plain.
