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.
