This working farm offers the guest 4 rainbow trout dams to fly fish from as well
as a spring fed weir system stocked with the elusive brown trout. This farm has
a rich history with regards to the Boer War, as women of the area and their
livestock fled from the enemy and took refuge in the overhanging caves, situated
on Fairview Estates. Quite a few Bushmen drawings were also found on the
sandstone overhangs on this farm.
