This 110ha is part of the sought after Rouens Renosterveld and is managed in partnership with the Renosterveld Trust as a conservation area. Accommodation: 4 cottages, Swayne House and the main homestead. A total of 30 beds are available for guest accommodation.

This area is thus exempt from municipal rates and taxes as a result of it being conservation area. An added advantage is that the Trust has implemented and maintains a veldfire management plan, with regular visits to conduct fire-passages and to eliminate alien plants and trees. There are 4 cottages, the large Swayne Guest House and the main homestead. Against the river Meatmaster sheep and a few Nguni’s are kept on kikuyu. A lovely serene picnic area under popular grove runs along the riverbank with a playground for the children and braai facilities. The river hosts lots of bass and the small dams have small bass, which the children enjoy fishing. Income is mainly generated through guest accommodation. There is a dam close to the cottages which hosts abundant fish and is rich in bird-life in the reed bush. The cottages are positioned to ensure maximum privacy with beautiful views of the mountains and pastures. Ample water – 20 000lt from boreholes for domestic use and 25 000lt for irrigation pumped from the river. There are 3 dams in total with bass and tilapia in them and there is 1 km of Bot river frontage along the western boundary of the farm. Two large sheds previously used as chicken pens can easily be re-opened for chicken farming.
