A privately owned piece of land cotaining both renosterveld and limestone fynbos. It is contiguous with De Hoop Nature Reserve and has several interesting species on the limestone hills. A small cattle farm on the northern fringes of the Agulhas limestone hills. It has an exceptional diversity of succulents and bulbs with a record number of new Hermannia species discovered over a weekend. After a fire in 2017 the vegetation is spectacular, but it unfortunately has no reserve status and suffers from both grazing from cattle and the encroachment of aliens, particularly Acacia cyclops and Acacia saligna.
