Olive Valley Walks

Few things are as invigorating as an early morning walk and swim. Drop off the kids and join me for a hike past the waterfall up the mountain and across buchu fields. When we reach the fresh water dam you may opt to go around or through it.

2 hour walk - mid morning - 1 to 6 participants [R200 pp]

Usually available in Autumn and Spring

After work on a Friday afternoon we start a mountain hike past the waterfall and through the forest. Enjoy the view over Paarl and Wellington before we start the descent through olive groves and  swim into the sunset. 

Revitalised by the water we walk the last stretch back to Cascade to toast on our journey with a glass of sparkling wine.

4km walk - 200m swim (optional) - 1 to 6 participants [R290 pp]

Usually available in Summer

Explore the area as local or as tourist. Walk with us from Cascade to Ashia Cheetah Sanctuary and end the day with a wine tasting at Nederburg Estate. A guided walk through olive groves and vineyards lead you to the wildlife animal welfare operation of Ashia. Here you learn about the conservation activities and walk along the enclosures of the resident cheetahs and those that will be re-wilded. A further 1.8km is the home of South Africa’s most awarded wine brand: Nederburg. Your tour ends with a tasting of a range of their wines. You may also choose to stay for lunch and get a shuttle back to Cascade.
