Facilities & activities at Franverleigh

  • Lovely large swimming pool (please bring your own swimming towels)
  • Plenty of space for children to play safely
  • Birdwatching & animal spotting
  • Mountain biking and hiking trails in 40ha of forest on well-marked trails
  • Canoeing (a canoe is available for your enjoyment, but we have problems with duckweed at times).

After a busy day on the beach or enjoying other activities come back to your own private corner of paradise where you may see bushbuck, bush pigs, otter, meerkat, porcupine, and rooikat. All have been spotted, or left tracks, on our property. It is, of course, a bird-watcher's heaven.

Then there are the Knysna elephants. It is thought that there are just 5 left and we have seen evidence of their passing only 10 kms away.
