Winter has the obvious appeal of ski-ing at Tiffendell. But hiking, cycling and running are also growing in popularity.  Den Hagen lends itself to altitude & hill training for runners. Cyclists have some beautiful rides to Maartenshoek, Kloppershoek or up the challenging Carlislehoek to Tiffindell. For the gung-ho one can take on Naudesnek.

Opportunities for hiking are virtually unlimited – according to one’s enthusiasm, energy levels and taste.

For the historically inclined there is an extinct volcano nearby and a fossilized dinosaur footprint near Ugie, not to mention San, or Bushman, rock paintings. In summer one can swim or tube in the pristine streams and rivers. Because of the altitude, one can find Alpine flowers- the International Alpine Floral Society visited a few years back. Other options include horse riding, quads, and drives. Activities on the farm include croquet, boulle, darts, flick-board, table soccer, ping-pong.

 Evenings lend themselves to star gazing and moon-light walks, or simply relaxing around a braai. A short journey to town (Rhodes) takes one to the choice of a few pubs & restaurants.

Rhodes is well know for its fly fishing. Catching wild trout has an appeal of its own, even if only for the isolated solitude of fishing in an amazing environment.
