The teagarden and kids playground is situated between some well-established Willows and Oak trees, with views of the Mountain. Fresh strawberries, grown on the farm, are served in season. You can pick your own strawberries from October to December. The Red Door Nursery next to the paintball field sells lovely pots plants and trees in various sizes. Come wintertime, we have a very cozy fireplace in the dining room at the teagarden that will make your visit a very enjoyable one. Our Granny's Forest Amphitheatre is one of the venues on the farm that is used for outdoor weddings and teambuilding. The historical farm workers hut on the hiking trail is situated next to the dam in Granny's Forest and was built in 1840 - you can book it for a experience like no other without any electricity or modern comforts. Other outdoor facilities that are very popular: Mountain Biking 9 km, 4X4 trail, Hiking 1 – 20 km & Birdwatching. Drumming, Paintball, Laser Tag (can be arranged with 3rd party providers).
