On your bike
The trails have something to offer for all types of mountain bikers from beginners to the more serious. Take it easy on a family trail through scenic valley farms, or take-off into the Lebanon Forest Reserve and carve your way down forested pine slopes on 4 kilometers of challenging single-track. These trails offer a unique riding experience that combines rolling orchard farmland, forested pine slopes and mountainous fynbos with breathtaking views of the Elgin Valley and Overberg surrounds.

The four trails range from 5.8km—27km with technical abilities from easy to difficult.

Yellow (5.8km) technical difficulty – easy
A mellow 5.8km of farm roads and jeep tracks past dams and rivers and through some lovely forest.

Green: (10.3km) technical difficulty - easy to moderate
Slightly longer than yellow but with a little more effort required through similar stunning surrounds.

Blue: (17.5km) technical difficulty - moderate to difficult
A inspiring single track, 280m of climb will get you to the top of the fun stuff– but is well worth it.

Red: (25km) technical difficulty - moderate to difficult
440m of climb in total gets you great views and the best single track. All the climbs are on jeep tracks and farm roads and majority of the down hills on single track.

Off your bike
Trout-fishing, bird-watching (approximately 90 different bird species which have been spotted in the area so do remember to bring your binoculars and bird book along), quad-biking, horse-riding, hiking (Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve Boland Trail "Suicide Gorge") Rowing, Wine-tasting at Beaumont Wines (by appointment), Paul Cluver and Wildekrans and finally golf at the Arabella Country Estate
