Hikes
Ground has opened their farm for you to explore marked trails outdoors. The trails range from 3-9km. A pram and child-friendly route is also available. Please note that the trails are not guided but there are arrows and markers to show you the route. A map is also viewable upon arrival for you to mark your route.
Trails are split into Option 1, 2, and Friday Feels. The first is available from Wednesday-Sunday, and is a hike only at R60pp. Kids under five may participate free of charge. Option 2 is available at R130pp on the same days as the first option. The difference is that it comes with a takeaway gourmet breakfast roll and a drink. Lastly, Friday Feels celebrates the end of the work-week with a gourmet burger, chips and beer after the hike from the hours of 08:00-15:00. This package is available at R170pp.
