HAZEY RIVER RESERVE
Only use the designated areas e.g. Fireplace and braai area on veranda for fires. Use ashtrays to kill cigarettes. Do not throw it in the bush!
There are three walking trails on the property – one an easy stroll through the plantation, the others slightly more energetic, through streams and over rocks. These walks take an hour to ninety minutes. You are free to hike through the entire estate and onto the mountain at the rear side of the estate.
Mountain biking is allowed. Bring your own bikes.
Incredible bird watching and a bird hide on the lake
You can sit on your veranda and watch the Mongoose, Bushbuck, Bush-babies etc in your own garden.
