Activities

Welbedacht is the perfect place to relax - in summer, cool off in your private plunge pool or enjoy a swim in the dam; in winter, get a roaring fire going and enjoy the peace and quiet. Those who are more energetic can walk amongst our zebra, springbok and bontebok in the nature reserve and conservation area, through orchards and fynbos, or up into the mountains. Alternatively, try your skills at fishing in one of our dams. For more information on activities on the farm and the surrounding area, please see below (or click the appropriate link)
