Guests staying at the Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse can enjoy a number of Drakensberg holiday activities that are easily accessible around the Kamberg Valley region and the Greater Mooi Rivier area.
Tucked away in the beautiful Kamberg Valley of Mooi Rivier, scenic walks, swimming and hiking are among the activities that guests can enjoy.
A ten-minute road drive will take you to the destination where horse riding on Appaloosa horses is made possible.
The duration of each excursion is approximately two and a half hours and will take you over the hills and give you scenic views of the mountain. Full and half-day tours are also available.
