We recently stayed at the self catering units of the hotel. We have also previously stayed in the hotel on a number of occasions. Once again it did not disappoint. The unit we stayed in had lovely views of the mountain range with the small dam in front of the unit. It is also the only unit that is pet friendly. It sleeps a maximum of six, with two separate rooms and a further area upstairs with two single beds. The main room is en suite and there is also a bathroom downstairs. All the comforts of home are provided with good quality finishes and equipment in the kitchen. You can also eat in the hotel if you wish. A lovely spa is also available for pampering.
We arrived at Highstakes on a cold, grey and rainy Wednesday morning and were greeted by a friendly and very helpful Craig. Craig pointed us in the right direction and sent us on towards the 4×4 course. He said that he would accompany us to show us some sections of the course that were not open to the general public. We were driving the Subaru XV Auto, which proved to be a very capable vehicle for a soft-roader and we were very impressed by how well it handled the course. Brad was in the driving seat of the Scubi (as it’s affectionately known) and his confidence grew as we conquered obstacles we didn’t think were possible in this vehicle. Every obstacle has a bypass so if you chicken out or your vehicle can’t make it through or you are afraid of damaging your vehicle you can always drive around the difficult bits. We followed Craig past the no entry signs to reveal some steep axle twisting hill climbs. The little Subaru was certainly put to the test but after a few tries it made it up both slopes. We were again very impressed with the Subaru’s ability without low-range or […]
An ordinary Saturday morning turned into an unexpected horticultural experience as we stumbled across a Rotary event in Kloof called “Open Gardens”. All of a sudden we were drawn into different peoples’ properties to view their spectacularly well-kept gardens. It was a glorious sunny day and therefore perfect outdoor weather for this type of event. As our journey began we were given a map and lead on a type of garden treasure hunt. The beautiful blooming flowers and their layout enthralled all our senses. Vibrant flowers in every colour could be seen along with pollinating bees and chirping birds. Ducks and swans paraded around in ponds in the heart of nature. It was such a relaxing event as we could walk around the properties ourselves and appreciate the beauty and tranquility that each garden provided. This event was was such fun for the whole family, especially the grandparents who enjoyed a cup of tea at the Tea Garden whilst admiring the aesthetically pleasing views.
