Orange Grove Farm
A working farm run as both a vineyard and a five star guest lodge. Abutting the mountain in the Nuy valley, it has a number of interesting routes going through both fynbos and renosterveld. A large portion of the farm burnt in 2016 leading to a plethora of post-burn flowers in spring 2017.
