Lovely afternoon out at the Slang River by Zaaihoek dam. The water is low enough to cross to the other side and take a really good walk. Love taking photos in monochrome sometimes. If life feels black and white, just fill in the colour yourself!!

I wanted a pond on the land with a few plants. Water features are always nice, quite calming. Then I built this! Plants on the way next month.. over 100 Lavender for the terrace slope just to name a few .

Very happy Bikers on their way home. Been here since Wednesday, braai meat, wood, briquettes and the sides provided. Beers and extra ice purchased on their behalf while they were out and waiting in the fridge for them to pop a cold one. Baked a bit of sustenance for them after a very long trip on the dirt on Saturday! Booked a table at Red Rooster for the Platteland experience for their last night. Sooo, come along Bikers, we make it effortless for you with your limited space!!

Special occasion? Let us know a week in advance, or when you book and we will make you a delicious cake to celebrate! We also offer catered meals, just pop them in the oven, sit back and enjoy time with your loved ones! For this party we did a Bobotie, Rice and veg and for the second night we did the salads. Very chuft gent that he only had to braai and his wife got to relax for her 50th!

A great day starts with a fabulous coffee. When in Wakkerstroom, pop into Theresa's Roastery for a coffee tasting and you will never drink another brand again! She turned me into a coffee snob!

She called a family meeting. Time to go to Wakkerstroom.... Hates these four walls!!
