The farm offers various opportunities, mainly due to the Biedouw River which runs through it as well as the strong boreholes that will form an integral part of any further development to explore the full potential of this farm. The farm exudes a great sense of closeness to nature and offers safety and tranquillity. The valley is renowned for the panoramic floral display that erupts after the first winter rains.
