The owner offers accommmodation to pilots and family,friends at reasonable prices .YOU have to book as the farm is used also as a hunting lodge .Accom is really typical african safari type with a nice open braai area for long debriefs after a days flying.Kamala,Bedford and Graaff Reinet are within easy driving reach.Area has great XC potential .It has only opened up now so All flights will virtually be site records
