What To Do at Whipstock

 

Petting Zoo and Farm

We have our own little petting zoo and children (as well as parents) can help at feeding time. Our animal kingdom includes rabbits, turkeys, chickens, goats, cows, sheep and pigs.

Children can help collect eggs from the chicken run.

 

Swimming

There is a wonderful farm dam with clean water for swimming and canoeing.

.

Walking and Mountain Bike Riding

The surrounding areas are underdeveloped, lending a rustic charm to the scenery for great walks or mountain bike rides. Short and longer trails have been laid out on the farm such as the "Over the Hills" walk and the "Valley Walk".

 

Star Gazing

With Whipstock far from any development, the night sky is clear and the stars are unbelievably visible. At night, stargazing is a journey into another world.

Whipstock will, in the near future, boast a formidable Meade Telescope!

Library

For those who need some down time we have a small library with a variety of entertaining books. What could be better than reading a good book on a lush lawn under the shining sun or curl up with a must-read in front of the roaring fire with nothing but the sounds of nature to soothe you to sleep?

The library is updated on an ongoing basis.

Games Room

Our games room has a bar with guest fridges (we are unfortunately not licensed but feel free to bring your own drinks to stock the fridges and have your own sundowner cocktails). There is also a table tennis table and a dartboard as well as a television with full DSTV facilities. A variety of board games are also available.

Wine Tours and Tastings

The surrounding wine estates offer stylish wine tasting outings and you get to see more of the area's beautiful scenery.

McGregor

The fascinating, historic and artist town of McGregor with a supermarket and numerous shops and restaurants is only 7 km away.
