Sometimes we just need to get away from the rat-race out there. Just to sit down and take in the views. For those people, you have arrived…

For those who cannot sit still and need some adrenaline fixes, below are a few suggested activities in the area surrounding Avani Private Nature Reserve.

At Avani you can roam safely and freely. We have a hiking trail to follow and you could also venture down to the river and try some fishing. Feel free to contact Ewald (0823037434) for specific information about the reserve. 

From the top of the Houw Hoek Pass, one gets the first glimpse of the vast, rolling hills and vast skies of the Bot River area. A beautiful area boasting a wealth of farms producing award-winning wines, olive oils, and much more. Interesting restaurants and lovely places to visit. Please visit the Botrivier Wines website for wine routes, restaurants and more.
