1 - 3 hour trail rides available on reliable well-schooled horses through magnificent countryside. Half day - overnight hikes with highly experienced guide. Or combine the two for a fun-filled day of adventure. Lead-rein pony rides for the little ones!

Amazing overnight at Lydenrust farm with friend and kid. We felt spoiled by the warm welcome from Alison and the Palomito house was perfect for us. Very friendly farm animals and stunning scenery! If you are looking for a stop over on your way to Kruger or just in need of a break from the city with your little ones, this is the place to go. The horse riding is a must as well! We wish we could have stayed more.

Pieter and Jackie were amazing. We recieved all the information needed, directions and were offered walking sticks and a 2-way radio to ease communication along the route. The hut was well kept and all necessary utensils present. We chose slackpacking which was indeed a great idea especially since the first day hike was along the Montrose river and challenging, we enjoyed every minute. We were provided with braai wood and paid close to nothing. We definitely coming back as there are no words to describe this trail and the hospitality from the hosts. There is also a Bushcamp coming up which was under renovation or being build plus an upcoming picnic spot. Pieter did mention that soon they will be ready. I found my place of peace and indeed a Stress-free environment. The waterfalls, natural pools to cool off, the streams, bush, mountain views and vegetation, everything is amazing. The hut is also equipped with Solar lights etc, and there is geyser which provides hot water. Its amazing. During our last day, we were informed that non-hikers can be transported to the huts too, that is a great thing to ensure families are included as the trail is not conducive for smaller children.

i don't know why your reviewer Jenny had trouble finding this : we had a map with the permit. Just go down to the end if the picnic site & follow the signs. Initially by the river, then a forest, then the falls. You come back through another forest. Beautiful place, the only Falls that are wider than they are higher in that part of the world. guide says 4km, but it took us about an hour there and an hour back....plus watching time! Jo from the Graskop leather shop showed us the climbing route up the falls, rather than the road way : you then walk along the river bed at the top before joining the road again. take care though!

If you are a Geography type person or just enjoy the epic beauty our planet has to offer its worth the trip. The road is in a fair to slighty crumbly unmaintained. I drive a polo sedan and it was fine but one needs to take caution of the steep climbs and decents and note the mist/fog moves in quickly. But having said that its still worth the trip for the day. The views are breath taking.
