Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse

‘The Place for Mountain Pursuits’

Nestled away in the Kamberg Valley within close reach of Giant’s Castle Nature Reserve is Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse, the perfect mountain hideaway. Cast your rod in search of brown trout in the surrounding rivers, or try and lure the rainbow trout at nearby dams. The reserve features a wide variety of walking trails and wildlife with opportunities to spot the indigenous Jackal, Reedbuck and Oribi.  Back at the farmhouse you’ll encounter great home cooked food, underground wine cellar, comfortable beds and a roaring fireplace.
