But you are more than welcome to swim there. The house offers free WiFi.
I'm a mom who loves renovation projects. Together with my husband we make a great team to take on any new projects.
The farm is nestled between the beautiful Klein Drakenstein mountains. This is a working trout farm so you will see our farm workers and my husband from time to time. The other house on the farm is Trout Cottage. This is a cozy cottage which can accommodate 2 people.
