The estate is brushed with striking hues, as if from an artists pallet, and transforms from deep greens to shades of bronze ahead of the colourful bursts of spring. Enjoy long walks along the contoured pathways and drop down along a mountain stream which feeds a series of well stocked trout dams. And it is here that you are invited to hone your skills in the fine art of fly fishing. For the novices who are keen to try their hand at fly fishing for the first time, one of our hosts will gladly take you through the steps before trying to catch the wiley rainbow trout. For the more adventurous, we suggest saddling up to explore the estate.
Fly Fishing
Four kilometers of perennial rivers flow through the valley and 14 lakes and dams, all stocked with rainbow trout, make Walkersons a fly-fisher's paradise.
Swimming pool
Relax around our pool area when weather permits.
Gym
The gym is fully equipped with free weights and for the cardio enthusiasts there is a rowing machine, treadmill, stepper and stationary cycle.
Horse Riding
For horse-riders, the equestrian centre provides stables, paddocks and groomsmen. Outrides can be arranged and usually last an hour and even though our guides will accompany you, we recommend only experienced riders engage with this past-time. As is standard practice for all establishments who offer such facilities, all riders are required to sign an indemnity form as guests may only engage in these activities at their own risk.
Picnicking
Our picnic basket consists of a variety of delicacies to be enjoyed in the open air spaces of Walkersons Hotel along the beautiful winding rivers and waterfall. We cater for all dietary requirements and on your request we can set up the picnic spot for you. The basket includes water and juice and we invite you to choose a special bottle of wine or champagne from our award winning wine cellar to complete your picnic
Walking & Hiking
A network of paved paths extends throughout the 800 hectare estate and up into the mountain reserve, making walking trails pleasantly simple. In fact, in the valley, over 3000 meters of paved paths make it easy for either a hearty jog or a lazy, pleasant riverside stroll. Alternatively our more energetic hike to the top of the estate will take you closer to the wild game which includes Impala, Zebra, Blue wildebeest and Bles buck, and offers truly panoramic and spectacular views.
